>Description:
By my reading of meta-pkgs/xorg/Makefile.common one could force meta-pkgs/xorg
into installing into /usr/X11R6 by e.g. setting X11ROOT in /etc/mk.conf.
However, this doesn't work because mk/bsd.prefx.mk sets:
X11BASE?=               ${LOCALBASE}/${X11ROOT_PREFIX}
instead of using X11ROOT.

Installing xorg into /usr/X11R6 is highly desirable becase that removes
the need to adapt a metric gazillion of config and rcfiles to include
/usr/pkg/xorg/bin in the PATH.

The same applies to meta-pkgs/XFree86.
