Yup, we just need the build.sh framework "turned on" and sets lists 
updated, as you say.

Ah, thanks for that.  I'm really new to figuring out the build.sh 
magic.  Trying to wrap my head around src/distrib/sets/lists now...

I don't really know the best way to approach updating the sets lists 
other than grinding through them:  I presume it's a matter of comparing 
what "make World" has installed for me (as the /usr/X11R6 tree is a 
pristine install) with the src/distrib/sets/lists that exist now.  
Judging by the binaries I've got, alpha seems to be a mix of md.macppc 
and md.i386 / md.amd64.
