 At this point I suspect you'd be better off using pkgsrc X11... the
 native X11 in -5, even 5.2, is pretty old and it bitrots fast.
 
 Theoretically you should be able to install the pkgsrc versions of
 just the parts that are newer (and the parts that depend on those
 parts) but given that IIRC one of them is libX11 it's probably
 futile.
