Well, you could make a link from /usr/lib/X11 to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
(or /usr/X386/lib/X11 if you're running an older version).
/usr/lib/X11 is the traditional (non-X*86, pre-R6) directory.

BTW, are you sure it's looking in /usr/lib/X11?  A version of Mosaic
compiled for BSDI seems to assume that it's /usr/X11/lib/X11, in which
case you should make a link from /usr/X11 to /usr/X11R6 (this seems
like a sensible idea anyway, since users can set their path to
/usr/X11/bin and get whatever the current version is).

You can use ktrace/kdump to determine what files it's trying to open.
