I wouldn't like any of the above.  But didn't someone already suggest:

4) Use wrapper scripts in /usr/bin/{vim,vimdiff,ex,view,rview,rvim,vimtutor} 
that first look for the -X11 executables, then -enhanced.  Maybe something 
like:

#!/bin/sh
exe=${0##*/}
vim=/usr/libexec/vim/enhanced/$exe
if [ -x /usr/libexec/vim/X11/$exe ] ; then # maybe test "-n $DISPLAY" here too
    vim=/usr/libexec/vim/X11/$exe
fi
exec $vim "$@"

...and ship it in vim-enhanced, and make vim-X11 require it (and obviously set 
up so that the desired executables/links are found 
in /usr/libexec/vim/{enhanced,X11})?
