It seems there is an expected layout from
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2002-07/msg00144.html and others:
        prefix=/usr/X11R6
        includedir=${prefix}/include    # /usr/X11R6/include
        sysconfdir=/etc
        localstatedir=/var

        exec_prefix=${prefix}
        bindir=${exec_prefix}/bin       # /usr/X11R6/bin
        libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib       # /usr/X11R6/lib

        datadir=/usr/share
        pkgdatadir=${datadir}/${PACKAGE_TARNAME}-${PACKAGE_VERSION}
                                        # /usr/share/tcm-2.20
        docdir=${datadir}/doc           # /usr/share/doc
        pkgdocdir=${docdir}/${PACKAGE_TARNAME}-${PACKAGE_VERSION}
                                        # /usr/share/doc/tcm-2.20
        cygdocdir=${docdir}/Cygwin      # /usr/share/doc/Cygwin
        mandir=${datadir}/man           # /usr/share/man
        man1dir=${mandir}/man1          # /usr/share/man/man1


If you use:
        --prefix=/usr/X11R6 \
        --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --libexecdir=/usr/sbin \
        --localstatedir=/var \
        --datadir=/usr/share \
        --mandir='${datadir}/man' \
        --infodir='${datadir}/info'
or:
        --prefix=/usr \
        --exec-prefix=/usr/X11R6 \
        --includedir=/usr/X11R6/include \
        --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --libexecdir=/usr/sbin \
        --localstatedir=/var \
        --mandir='${datadir}/man' \
        --infodir='${datadir}/info'
everything should end up in the proper place. The last few lines in both are
because mandir and infodir default to ${prefix}/man and ${prefix}/info,
libexec defaults to ${exec_prefix}/libexec, sysconfdir defaults to
${prefix}/etc, and localstatedir defaults to ${prefix}/var.

I am not sure if this is what existing X packages use, but this seems to be
the latest reference to paths from the archive.
