Let me explain why I went this route in the first place: Application Defaults It's unfortunate that the way things are set up in XFree86 by default now don't really allow you to install Joe Application in such a way that it will work for all users out-of-the-box without sometimes touching /usr/X11R6. You need to install stuff into /usr/X11R6/lib just to get it found by the Xt libraries. I wish there was some analog in /usr/local that we could get searched for all subsequent releases of XFree86, but it's not that way now so I figured "oh well!" and thought we'd just settle for treating all the X11 stuff as a blob.
