Okay, bad form to follow up to my own post, but before I hit the sack,
I've gotten further, but getting more deeply stuck :-)

To solve the XINPUT issue, I found what I was looking for in
share/mk/bsd.x11.mk. As before, make similar changes to add sparc to get
various defines, and remove it to prevent not getting some, most
importantly, XINPUT.

Next, I hit a hardcoded error in the xfree source that this arch/OS has
no PCI support, this is in
$X11SRC/xfree/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bus/Pci.h. My
guess was to remove the restriction of only sparc64 platforms in the
NetBSD sparc section, hopefully the #defines we end up using are
correct for sparc as well as sparc64?

Bit further on I'm now hitting errors in
$X11SRC/xfree/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd/bsd_kbd.c
for defines for LED_{CAP,NUM,SCR} which look to be resolved by adding
-DWSCONS_SUPPORT to the build, but AFAIK wscons is not available for
sparc right?

The place to add these defines is
x11/Xserver/hw/xfree86/xf86_os/Makefile and I started to add sparc
sections similar to macppc and cats. Making sparc use netbsdPci.c
matches the #defines in Pci.h.

I'm now not sure as macppc and cats define SRCS.bsd to contain
{ppc,arm}_video.c as well as other extra files. Do we need a
sparc_video.c file here? I saw there's a sparc64_video.c file which
doesn't seem to contain much that I guess it could be adapted/copied?
