 I've been having a play with this and have built cairo on OS X against
 native (XFree86) X11.
 I suspect the same change will work for netbds-4 and similar.
 
 It involves tweaking the x11/renderproto buildlink3.mk to include a
 new x11/renderproto9,
 and specifically patching renderproto9's render.h to report
 RENDER_MINOR of 9 rather than 10.
 
 This is fine for Xfree86 based native X11, but I suspect may not be
 right for more modern xorg
 native x11, which should probably continue to use x11/renderproto (for now)=
 .
 
 What do people think - what would the best way way to tell Xfree from
 xorg native X11 apart?
