 I submitted this PR because I am not totally sure that the error I encountered was really a bug or just a misconfiguration of my system. I am building a pkgsrc bulk and for some reason I have not investigate yet, /usr/X11R7 has not been mounted in my sandbox. When I look at the beginning of this script, I see however with_x=yes and sandboxMountDirs="/bin /sbin /lib /libexec /usr/X11R7 ...". But anyway...
 
 If it is correct that a NetBSD can be fully functional without the xbase set, setting X11_TYPE to native only if /usr/X11R7 exists seems reasonable to me, since the directory of X's files has been named as this since NetBSD 5.
