 * Try this; put the line

Um, that doesn't work because your imake config files are saying
otherwise!  bsd.port.mk depends on imake to create the Makefile for X
utilities.  Go into your imake config dir and look at site.def, you
should find

#define ProjectRoot /usr/X11R6

Change that line to where you want to put your X tree.

This was what I did when I had my X stuff in /usr/local/X11 before;
but trust me, it's not a very good idea, it's much easier to simply
accept the default and be compatible with the rest of the world.
