Without having looked at xfig in detail, I think you might be able to 
avoid many of your substitutions to the Imakefile if you pass 
-DProjectRoot= to xmkmf 

If necessary, you can also pass -DLocalRulesFile= to define a makefile
containing  extra rules.

     That sounds like a nice solution.

     I was trying to avoid this until there was a need from more packages.
     I'm not familiar with many projects that still use imake, but it appears
     you might be, with your xboing patch ;)
     
     Btw, I did push a change to xfig and transfig that should let them build
     for i686 (which I tested locally now) and mips (which I don't have the
     means to check locally).
