This is one of my concerns. Will there come a day when we are forced to
depend on the GNU tools to build X?

Have you considered Buildtool?  It is a BSD-licensed replacement for
automake, autoconf, and libtool. http://buildtool.sourceforge.net/

(By the way, I have a freedesktop.org account and can commit things from
the NetBSD project as needed.)
