the upstream srcs are imported into

   xsrc/external/<lic>/<package>/dist

with some pre-generated files stored along side the
dist subdir in either include or src normally.

the build is over in src, though.  see:

   src/external/mit/xorg/server/drivers/xf86-video-intel*

(there are two versions to choose from.)

someone (tm) should remove old xsrc/xfree refs.  you can
trigger something similiar to the old "make" in xsrc with
a "nbmake-foo build" in src/external/mit/xorg as a toplevel.
