You answer my last question. I had not looked but X11_TYPE is set to native in mk/plaform/OpenBSD.mk. Actually, pkgsrc handles native X11 for a lot of systemsIt therefore seems more relevant to me to add test in a unique place (mk/tools/replace.mk) instead of patching each mk/platform/${OS}.mk.

Thanks for these informations Tom.
