there is an X11 tar file with the latest sparc binary snapshot,
except it doesn't have an x server.  the best idea, i think
would be to use SUNOS_COMPAT, and use a sunos4 compiled server
(either openwin (eew), or R5), and then you can use the netbsd
compiled clients.

theo, is anyone working on making R6 work properly under
netbsd/sparc ?
