That's exactly what I used to do with my (now obsolete) xfree-4.2.1 
package, by adding::

	.if defined(USE_X11) || defined(USE_X11BASE)
	DEPENDS+=               xfree-[0-9]*:../../x11/xfree
	.endif

in my local mk.conf. I also added this blob::

	.if !exists(${X11BASE})
	.BEGIN:
		${MKDIR} -p ${X11BASE}
	.endif

to circumvent the problem caused by bsd.pkg.mk's X11BASE test. Ugly but 
effective.
