No, it's for non-X packages which need to know where an X package is located.
For example, net/ethereal is not USE_X11BASE, but it needs to know where
GTK (which _is_ USE_X11BASE) is located.

(I've had a similar hack in my local copy of pkgsrc for years...)

A good idea... and maybe at some point, I'll sort through my local changes
to find all the places where I've fixed an include to use X11PREFIX (or my
earlier equivalent), and send-pr them so pkgsrc can Just Work with xpkgwedge.
(Not next week, though, I'll be on vacation...)
