If you want to play with xorg try xsrc/xorg from anoncvs.netbsd.org, I 
added the missing bits and pieces to make it work on NetBSD/macppc a 
while ago.
Don't expect any visible benefit though, you won't get any hardware 3d 
acceleration out of it as long as nobody ports the kernel part of DRI 
to NetBSD. If you don't have hardware that's unsupported by XFree86 4.5 
then I'd strongly recommend to use NetBSD's X.

have fun
Michael
