Because X11BASE is part of pkgsrc only?

The system defined area for X is /usr/X11R6

Just like the system defined area for libraries is /lib and /usr/lib.

If you wanted those to be /library, more power to you, but there's only
so many knobs provided in the build system. (and none of them re-organize
where stuff gets installed, only whether or not a given feature is enabled).
