Yes, thats what the ModulePath is.

IconPath and PixMap path point to where you've put your icons.
You can point it right into the fvwm icons directory, but it would make
more sense to download our icons from our web site, and put them some
place like /usr/local/etc/icons.

You need backslashes on these lines, I assume you had them and just
cut this up for email purposes. You don't point right to the files,
just the directories they are in:
--with-xpm-library=/usr/local/X11/lib
--with-xpm-includes=/usr/local/X11/include
For LDFLAGS, you need to export where the libraries are:
export LDFLAGS=-R/usr/local/X11/lib
