Here's where I got the only Xsrc that would compile (I never did test 
it) on my Qube, as of July this year.  I assume this is still good 
advice.

ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/xsrc/  {files 
from here}

"make build" was the key.  I'm still not sure how I was supposed to 
know that ahead of time :)  just invoking "make" failed.  I had to ask 
on the list.

Notice that the sources are in /current not /pkgsrc, and perhaps look 
at secunia.com for possible holes in the x server depending on version 
(X is a big security hole, I'm glad I ended up not needing to run it).

HTH.
