Solaris always used sources based on the X11 releases - while our X client
libraries are mostly based on X11R6.4/6.6 in Solaris 8, 9, & 10, we're in
the process of replacing them all with the current X11R7.x versions for
OpenSolaris and the next release of Solaris.

So for us, like for most Linux/BSD distros, you can count on pkg-config if
you ride the cutting edge, but still need to handle other methods of finding
X libraries on older/stable/enterprise/long-term-supported, but still widely
used versions.
