That's likely to work, yes. You would try "make build" in ".../xsrc".
The "build" target in "xsrc/Makefile" wraps an "out-of-the-box" build,
handling a few of the gory details for you. Since 4.4.0 builds
out-of-the-box on 1.6.2, there's a good chance our patched tree will,
too.

In that case, you only *need* to update the Xserver. Something like

 cd /usr/xsrc/xfree/xc
 echo "#define BuildServersOnly YES" > config/cf/host.def
 echo "#define ProjectRoot /usr/local/X11R6" >> config/cf/host.def
 make World
 make install && make install.man
 rm /usr/X11R6/bin/X
 ln -s /usr/local/X11R6/bin/XFree86 /usr/X11R6/bin/X

Should give you working Xserver without overwriting your whole
installation (but 4.4.0 is stable and well-tested, so there's not
much risk to installing the whole thing).
