 * Seriously, guy, this is painfully obvious with a 10 second look at
 * bsd.port.mk.  Look at it again.  You'll plainly see where X11BASE
 * overrides the PREFIX.

Ha ha Jordan, gotcha here.  The line you are talking about is

PREFIX?=		${X11BASE}
      ^see? :)

so it's not overriding, it's the (overridable) default! :)

BTW, as I wrote in an earlier mail, it's imake config files that
decide where to install the X stuff.  PREFIX is usually only used in
packages and stuff.  (So you'll find yourself in a deep hole if you
don't have them in sync!)
