Could someone have a look at the instructions for compiling X11 from  
source on the web site.

(Below a copy). Are those instructions still valid? (config and make  
world for example).

3.4 The Official Source

If you've got the time to spare, you can build XFree86 4.5 from  
source. You can find the source on your local XFree86 mirror in the  
directory 4.5.0/source. Grab all seven XFree86-4.5.0-src-#.tgz  
tarballs and extract them in the same directory. You can customize  
the build by putting macro definitions in the file config/cf/host.def  
in the XFree86 source tree. See config/cf/darwin.cf for some hints.  
(Note: Only the macros that have an #ifndef check around them can be  
overwritten in host.def.)

When you're happy with your configuration, compile and install  
XFree86 with the following commands:

make World
sudo make install install.man
