 * - Removed x11 from CATEGORIES line; it only needs to be there if
 *   the port would logically fit into /usr/ports/x11 (which is being
 *   split up, anyway).  As of yesterday or so, USE_X11=yes is the
 *   way to say a port needs X libraries.

I've got an impression that reusing the USE_X11 variable was a bad
idea.  For things that were already in the tree, it was a simple
renaming, but when we have new ports coming in with USE_X11, it might
be too much trouble to check if it's actually USE_X11 or it means
USE_X_PREFIX.

How about we change the name of this variable before it's used?  (I can 
even add a check in bsd.port.mk to print a warning if it's defined.)
What do people think about USE_XLIB or USE_LIBX?
