There are two way to achieve it.
Easier way is make an alias on /usr directory. After you expand X archives
on /local/X11R6 or something, you move to /usr directory and make a
symbolic link to the directory.
# cd /usr
# ln -s /local/X11R6 ./
# ls -lg

Second way is to change entire entry paths.
1. Edit ~/.cshrc file. Add /usr/local/X11R6/bin to the "set path" line.
2. Edit /etc/rc.local file. Add /usr/local/X11R6/lib to the "ldconfig" line.

Hope it helps.
