top is not an X package.
cvs is not an X package.
rpm is not an X package.
Yet, all of these were installed under /usr/X11R6.
The reason being, as I have discovered, is the presence of
USE_MOTIF=YES
in my mk.conf. This should only affect packages that use Motif, but
instead it was affecting _all_ of them.

It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
