Perhaps it's even worth to break one more freebsdports concept, namely 
placing ports in /usr/X11R6? And make some extensions of core X system 
instead (app-defaults etc.)??


You mean, placing X ports in another tree instead of /usr/X11R6 to cut down
on polluting X' install?
Exactly. The whole point of having /usr/local in hier(7) is storing 
ports there. And existing "dividing lines" are pretty arbitral, at best.

Of course, few well-known exceptions like core X itself (anything else?) 
don't move anywhere, at least now. Then, X should be modified to accept 
things placing app-defaults etc. in /usr/local.
