The problem seems worse than that now... I see the same as reported here:
   http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2010/06/04/msg012274.html

I worked around it by doing this:
  cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/imake
  X11_TYPE=modular bmake install
and then was able to build other things that depend upon imake without
X11_TYPE=modular.
