If you want to make this change, then do it in the other drivers, too.
It doesn't make a big difference to me, but it should be consistent.
However, acecad (and most of the drivers) doesn't actually use sdkdir.
Only the drivers that install headers (evdev, synaptics?) care about
sdkdir. So, you can just nuke it here.

The macro in xorg-server.m4 would cause exactly the same problem as
using pkg-config. The issue is that distcheck expects that all
installed files will respect --prefix and install under that
directory. If you install to an externally defined location (sdkdir
from pkg-config or xorg-server.m4) then you cannot guarantee this
condition.
