It plays the same role in NetBSD's Makefiles... 

It's not too hard to have a script which defines the environment
variables BINDIR, LIBDIR, XAPPLOADDIR, MANDIR, FONTDIR and NLSDIR
before calling 'make install' and 'make install.man'. You only do it
once... 

You can even customize site.def... xc/config/cf/README in the X11R6
sources explains a lot of things about imake configuration.
