This is a known problem.  The real solution would be to add
`configure' support, but I don't have time to do that.  Volunteers?

The other solution (as documented in graph/x11/rules.mk) is to use
X11_PATH:

  # We try to detect the following directories (in that order) in the
  # current path:
  #
  #   X11   (usually a symlink to the current release)
  #   X11R6
  #   X11R5
  #
  # If the variable X11_PATH is set (to specify unusual locations of
  # X11), no other directory is searched.  More than one directory
  # must be separated with spaces.  Example:
  #
  #   make X11_PATH="/usr/openwin /usr/local/X11R6"
