The guide expects that you would have installed it already.

That search for me shows examples of where you would find it for
particular port releases.

It isn't a package.

The "base system" means NetBSD before any packages are installed.

Do you have a populated /usr/X11R7/lib directory ?

If there are libraries in it then you have already installed xbase.tgz
and you don't need to install the libX11 package as well.
