Fiddling more with this, I just learned that if I unpack this package
file:

http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/7.1/All/xentools46-4.6.5nb2.tgz

the dependency is mentioned in +BUILD_INFO,

$ grep pixman ./+BUILD_INFO
BUILTIN_PKGS=zlib-1.2.3 pixman-0.32.6
REQUIRES=/usr/X11R7/lib/libpixman-1.so.2

... and there is lots of mentioning of X11:

CFLAGS=-O2  -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/X11R7/include
CONFIGURE_ARGS=--disable-seabios --sysconfdir=/usr/pkg/etc
    --x-includes=/usr/X11R7/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R7/lib
    --prefix=/usr/pkg --build=x86_64--netbsd --host=x86_64--netbsd
    --mandir=/usr/pkg/man

to name a few places.
