This is an old problem... and it's not fixed in 4.70 :(
For FreeBSD ports, X11BASE is set in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
LOCALBASE?= /usr/local
X11BASE?= ${LOCALBASE}
but of course this file is not picked up when building from just the
source alone [it's my choice to build from source, not from the port]
... and hence X11 is not set correctly by X11=$(X11BASE) in the
OS/Makefile-FreeBSD script.
I complained about this in March 2008 (when 4.69 came out) and below we
can see where the conversation ended:

... but since nothing has been done about X11R7, this remains a problem
on 4.70 :( creating the "obvious" error message (which I include
for others to Google!):
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXaw
I don't see why there needs to be a platform independent fix, when I'm
asking for a specific fix in the OS dependent file :( ... which I
shall now apply for myself !
BTW a better fix (hope I'm not assuming too much of make) might be
