What we (Software2Go, LLC, http://www.apps2go.com) did when
we ported Motif to NetBSD (and {Open,Free}BSD) was use the Xwchar
package from X11R5, available at most any X mirror, and available
from ftp.apps2go.com:/pub/Xwchar/Xwchar.tar.gz.
Feel free to make use of that! (I believe we patched the
files that needed it so they directly included the needed sources,
and we didn't need to ship another library, or attempt to merge it
into libXm.)
