(I guess you meant #1 or #2 here)
Ok, I'll commit as #1 (reverting changes) soon and send a pullup
request to netbsd-9.

I'll also send an issue to upstream gitlab.

There are two concerns.
First, it seems upstream xorg has tried to get rid of legacy code:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57450
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=af06b94a402a4be38f498db4dfc5907267ac07c2
>> Remove support for old Sun Type_4/5 keyboards
(In the perfect world we should resurrect this and abandon sunKeyMap.c)
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/fb?id=7430fdb689678b98ac63f5a8dad13719bac777e0
>> fb: Remove even/odd stipple slow-pathing
(Though this seems to cause no visible regressions)
Second, just I'm not familiar with cvs(1) and I wonder what will
happen on the future import if files removed in the vendor branch
are resurrected in HEAD. Furthermore, we also have to maintain
src/external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/fb/Makefile.fb to keep
additional local files.
If you (and other people) don't mind to keep these manipulations,
#2 is not necessary.
Thanks,
