Actually, with 1.6.1 these should be set with Xaw3d configure options:

  --enable-internationalization
                          enable utf8 strings (default: yes)
  --enable-multiplane-bitmaps
                          enable XPM support
  --enable-gray-stipples  enable gray stipples
  --enable-arrow-scrollbars
                          enable arrow scrollbars

Which then set the macros in the pkgconfig file:

/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/xaw3d.pc:Cflags: -I${includedir} 
-DXAW_INTERNATIONALIZATION -DXAW_ARROW_SCROLLBARS

So it looks like with 1.6.1 it is up to applications to use:

pkg-config --cflags xaw3d

To set the macros at compile time.  internationalization is set by default.  I 
had been setting arrow-scrollbars, but looks like I need to set the others too.
