No, it isn't.  In the old build system, the very last messages of the
`configure' script announce very loudly which `app-defaults' will be
used, and how the user can change that.

Contrary to many other packages, a `/usr/local/X11' hierarchy normally
doesn't exist, and only the `/usr/X11' tree gets checked for
configuration files.  Maybe this has changed recently, but I doubt it.

I don't object :-) However, *please* ensure that you do the right
thing, which might be not easy to achieve.
