Not as far as I can see - symlinks work fine as relative paths. The above example will evaluate as, e.g, /usr/bin/../X11R6/bin, which is of course the same as /usr/X11R6/bin. I assume that the reason for using relative paths above is to avoid having such links relative to the root directory - if the partition is mounted to a different location, links will still point to the files they're intended to.
