I'm working on packages for X.Org ATM, and it's easy to use the pkgsrc versions
of expat and freetype2.  For other things, like Xrender et all, it's not so
easy, and well... I don't think it's worth it, because we could end up with
xorg packages that install almost nothing.

If we want an X implementation that works with individual packages, using
everything from pkgsrc, we must go for xlibs from fdo.

Cheers
