I found a reference to HAVE_X11 online, but that token is not defined. Note also that the Qt5 theme is supposed to build without KF5 too, for pure Qt5 applications, so this kind of token should rather be provided by the Qt cmake files rather than KDE's.

I'll leave the runtime checks to the QtCurve devs, as they obviously should be made in lots of locations and it's their call. I myself don't see the point in doing a runtime check whether a platform "is" X11, though. It's known at build time if a platform "is" X11. Doing a runtime check before each theming action if `Q11Info::isX11Active()` (or some such call) seems to be an expensive concession to a rather improbable set-up. If distros really decide to give the user a choice between X11 and Wayland at login ... let them figure out how to streamline that first, and then add runtime checks for the active graphics backend where really needed...
(In fact, I myself would avoid anything tied to the display layer as much as possible; the fact I had to go back in a few months after the previous porting effort goes to show how easy it is to break builds on other platforms with that kind of functionality - as if my own error wasn't enough already.)
