It is likely that your X11 setup is broken. Please run

    $ make show-vars VARNAMES="X11_TYPE X11BASE"

For me, it shows

    native
    /usr/X11R6

and it is working.

By the way, if you update pkgsrc/mk/buildlink/bsd.buildlink3.mk to 
revision 1.189 (the latest), you should get a more useful error message.
