...i've put a copy (actually, it'll be uploaded in an hour or so) of the
bleeding latest xfree86 cvs sources (trunk branch, head tag) compiled on
a 1.6_STABLE (today) box at:

http://digitalfreaks.org/~lavalamp/netbsd/XFree86_CVS_121102_NetBSDi386-1-6_STABLE.tar.bz2

MD5 (/cvs/XFree86_CVS_121102_NetBSDi386-1-6_STABLE.tar.bz2) =
1a31be6b1e20965756c670d4d18001e1

..the compile is painfully generic, the only thing that changed in
config/cf/site.def was: #define ProjectRoot /cvs/X11R6

...I don't think that path is hard-coded into any of the binaries after
the build, so you should be able to simply untar this ontop of your
X11R6, otherwise just make a quick symlink over...
