 * Are you saying it "should" or "will" install in /usr/local?  I'm
 * downloading your example, but I'm pretty sure it won't go in PREFIX,
 * because imake only knows the X11 tree.  I agree you may *want* it to

Chuck, you are misunderstanding the issue here.  We're talking about
ports that use imake, not xmkmf (and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config).

It is perfectly reasonable for a port to use imake (the program) with
its own imake config files, without any of the X11 config files.  For
example, {chinese,japanese,korean}/Wnn all do exactly that, and
install into ${LOCALBASE}.  (The build initially crapped out because
they did need X libraries to link X clients, but I fixed that with an
USE_XLIB, not USE_IMAKE or USE_X_PREFIX.)

(Yes, the USE_IMAKE variable in bsd.port.mk is a misnomer, it should
 have been called USE_XMKMF or something.)
