Right, and as noted earlier, this is reversed (hence the variable name
PREPEND_...) to get the final result.

I'd go one further as to say that the line probably should read

PREPEND_PATH+=		${USE_X11:D${X11BASE}/bin} ${LOCALBASE}/bin

so as to put LOCALBASE *earlier* in the path than X11BASE.  Since pkgsrc
tends to prefer stuff it creates, that's probably a more proper ordering.
The USE_IMAKE conditional was, I believe, based on the original .if
conditional used to se PREPEND_PATH before my first round of recursion
unwinding work.
