Rebuilding everything should not be necessary. I have some systems with a
mix-and-match of Xorg and XFree86 and appear to work fine.
I used X11ROOT_PREFIX=X11R6 and now X11_TYPE=xorg.
By setting X11_TYPE=xorg, it also defines USE_BUILTIN.Xfixes=yes and
USE_BUILTIN.Xcomposite=yes. Also, setting the X11_TYPE=xorg helps with
linking.
