1st, my corrected & working snippet:

X11INC = /usr/pkg/include
X11LIB = /usr/pkg/lib/

INCS = -I. -I/usr/include -I${X11INC}
LIBS = -L/usr/lib -lc -L${X11LIB} -lX1

I obtained the correct paths via the following two invocations:

pkg-config --cflags x11

pkg-config --libs x11

Heck, one could even roll these up in the makefile using back-quotes:

@echo `pkg-config --libs x11`

Further reading: pkg-config(1)

Welp, back to reading for me, hope someone benefits from it.
