Well, "don't do that."

Sure there are, and your -current libX11 is aware of that, but the
perceived "downside" is a dependency on a more recent libc than
your threadstub-unaware 1.6.2_RC4 one is.  So, yes, the 1.6.1 sets
ought to work for you, but if thread support is important to you
you should consider going for -current with the whole system.

Maybe you don't like it, but for now you'll have to cope with the
former.  The in-tree build infrastructure of the netbsd-1-6 branch
does not handle xsrc, which makes it infeasible to produce such
sets.  I'm not aware of plans about having this pulled into 1.6, but
those who know might speak up on that matter. :-)  As for the
source sets, obtaining these via anoncvs seems more feasible
at least to me, since the updates (after initially obtaining the
trees) are incremental and thus reasonably cheap.  (Hint: the
dates on the NetBSD-daily snapshots are for UTC, which makes
checking out that particular set of sources straight-forward.)
