I think what Joerg was trying to say is you don't need to build Xorg or 
XFree86 on Solaris in order to build Gnome/Kde or other X11 packages.

Solaris comes with its native X11 windowing system, which is 
under /usr/openwin. I think on i386/x86_64 Solaris uses Xorg and on SPARC it 
uses Xsun for its native Xserver.

When you use pkgsrc and have

X11_TYPE=modular

in your mk.conf, then pkgsrc will build Xorg modular X11 windowing system from 
scratch and any X11 applications you build will be linked to those libraries.

If you don't have X11_TYPE in your mk.conf, then pkgsrc will asume a native 
windowing system. On Solaris your X11 applications will be automatically 
linked to libraries under /usr/openwin/lib

Below xosview package was built on SPARC Solaris with a native X11
