I'm not sure what is the perceived difference here.  In particular,
the phrase "natively _for my kernel_" doesn't make much sense to me.

NetBSD is still just a bunch of source code with makefiles.  You can
build parts natively (assuming your native system and the sources you
are building are roughly of the same vintage) with just the native
make and toolchain just tell make to USETOOLS=no

The makefiles that build the x11 bits are under external/mit/xorg.
E.g. to build a custom version of libX11 you can go to
external/mit/xorg/lib/libX11 and do something like

  $ make USETOOLS=no MAKEOBJDIR=obj.custom obj
  $ make USETOOLS=no MAKEOBJDIR=obj.custom ... dependall
