The message should probably be more clear (for beginning pkgsrc users),
like:

PKG_FAIL_REASON+= "${PKGNAME} uses X11, but ${X11BASE} not found."
PKG_FAIL_REASON+= "Please install your X11 development files to ${X11BASE}."

(And if USE_X11BASE is defined, then it will care about installing it
there too.)
