In my opinion, the name may be xcalc and not xorg-x11-xcalc. 
Indeed the xorg-x11- prefix is used for collection of softwares, 
or to disambiguate with regard with other implementations, so 
I guess here it is not required. Therefore you can, if you prefer,
use xcalc as name and Provides: xorg-x11-xcalc.

For the provides, you can also use the %{version} to avoid having to change
it at each release:
Provides: xcalc = %{version}

You don't have to define the x11_app_defaults_dir, you can, at your
will define it like you did, or simply have in %files:
%{_datadir}/X11/app-defaults/XCalc
%{_datadir}/X11/app-defaults/XCalc-color

In %files, I personally prefer to use glob for man pages extensions, to 
catch the case of no compression or compression using different schemes.
If you like it you can change to
%{_mandir}/man1/xcalc.1x*

The COPYING file is empty, so the licence should be found by reading
the individual file licences. All of the files are under the X11 licence, 
except math.c which don't have a licence, but some authors, which are
also copyright owners unless otherwise stated. As the default licence is 
like a proprietary licence, this is not good for inclusion in fedora.
It is likely, however, that before the split, this package was included
in a package with proper COPYING and licence information. My personnal
opinion is that upstream should be asked for clarification, and otherwise
licence information from older releases should be found and used.

libXaw-devel requires libXt-devel and libXpm-devel, libXt-devel requires
libSM-devel and libX11-devel, so, optionally, you can remove
libXt-devel, libXpm-devel, libSM-devel and libX11-devel
from BuildRequires.

The only blocker item is the license issue for math.c.
