That doesn't bring you any performance gain. To quote Scott:

You need some patches to build X11R6 on the amiga.
I don't released this patches in tha past, since the are to bad.
But now i have a set of patches for X11R6.1 which will we available if
NetBSD 1.2 is released. A new X11 distribution will be also available at
that time.
