Description
Many ports use a post-destroot procedure to fix X11/app-defaults which will break the activation if port tries to overwrite the symlink in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 with a directory, which is the case for Apple's X11 for instance.
However, if /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 really is a directory, which is the case for XFree86 4.5.0, app-defaults placed in /etc/X11 are boldly ignored.
So here is a little addition to the destroot_finish procedure which - hopefully - cope with the issue by adapting the app-defaults location to the user's setup, thus making app-defaults fiddlings in post- destroot obsolete.

I have a fresh install of OS X 10.4.8 and Apple's X11 and my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory is really a directory. Is this bug still applicable to current conditions?
