I did not change this because I prefer to install everything in
/usr/local than in /usr/X11R6 :-)

The problem with the ports using Imake is that there is no mechanism
in bsd.port.mk to install them in another location than $X11BASE. I
should have written a configure script to set BINDIR, MANDIR and
HELPDIR:
echo "BINDIR=$PREFIX/bin" >> $WRKSRC/Imakefile
etc...
but I am lazy those days :-)
