Oh and one more issue I just remembered... I've seen quite a few ports do:

prefix ${x11prefix}

This seems to be a clear violation of the "nothing in /usr" policy... and as someone who feels some amount of ownership of /usr/ X11, I don't want to see it get potentially thrashed...

Am I correct in assuming that this is flat out wrong and should be reverted back to installing into the macports dstroot? Or was there some reason for doing this that I'm not seeing?

I had assumed that the ports that installed into ${x11prefix} had some need to do so. I had not actually tried to use any of that software. If it works fine in ${prefix} then absolutely it should go there instead.
