The xpkgwedge is used to get things to not install in the X11 tree. But it 
is not used by all packages -- only for those using xmkmf. I see if it off 
that it should set your X11PREFIX to your X11BASE.

Maybe because you set it with ?= instead of =, it was already set to YES 
in some cases.

Do you have the xpdgwedge package installed? Do you have a 
/usr/pkg/lib/X11/config/xpkgwedge.def or 
/usr/pkg/xorg/lib/X11/config/xpkgwedge.def file on your system?

USE_X11BASE should not be set by the user (by you). It is a package 
specific setting to only be set per a package's own Makefile.

A couple years ago, I spent a lot of time customizing my own pkgsrc to 
force all X-related packages to install in my X11BASE. But I realized that 
was not needed for me, so I stopped doing that.

As for Xrandr, Xrender, Xaw3d ... I am using the official maintained X.org 
versions of libXrandr, libXrender, libXaw (and others) on a few of my 
systems and plan to commit to pkgsrc next month. They do not install to 
X11BASE at all.

As for Xaw3d, it seems like it should install to X11BASE in your case of 
not using xpkgwedge.

By the way, you may want to use the pkgsrc-users list for your pkgsrc 
discussions.
