Try "make build". "xmakefile" is generated by "make World" in
"/usr/xsrc/xc", but "make build" does all the steps for you. That's
actually the old way, which'll get you only XFree86 3.3.6...

Or better yet, if you get all the sources, you can try to build
XFree86 4 using the new reachover framework, by adding "-x" to
whatever arguments to "./build.sh" you usually use.
