I've found this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5841008/problem-in-linking-x11-in-mac-os-x

So, it seems that a Makevars file with the following content would
solve the problem:

PKG_LIBS=-L/usr/X11/lib -lX11

I would be grateful if someone could try to build the package with the
above change in the src/Makevars since, as I have said, I can't make
tests.

Thanks,
