I have successfully built and use the monolithic x11/xorg-server using the 
wip/modular-xorg-libs. I do not have any x11/xorg-libs installed. This is 
on NetBSD/i386 -current.

I set CHECK_X11_TYPE=no. The xorg-server-6.9.0nb7 depends on 
modular-xorg-libs-7.0nb5 which Requires:
libX11>=0.99.0
libXau>=0.99.0
libXaw>=0.99.0
libXext>=0.99.0
libXfont>=0.99.0
libXi>=1.0.0
libXinerama>=1.0.1
libXmu>=1.0.0
libXt>=0.99.2
libXxf86misc>=1.0.0
libXxf86vm>=1.0.0
libxkbfile>=0.99.1
libxkbui>=1.0.1

No changes to x11/xorg-server at all.

I also have a few small patches that add an X11_TYPE=modular-xorg. I will 
provide those patches later to discuss. They could be used now before we 
decide our long term goals on this. (We do have prior art of referencing 
"wip" in pkgsrc/mk/ for java.)

I also packaged wip/xinit and start up X using startx from that package. 
For some quick tests, I run icewm, xterm and rclock (need to commit to 
that in pkgsrc still though).

For fonts, I am just pointing my FontPath to some fonts I still had on my 
system. (I will package up some of the "modular" xorg fonts too unless 
someone volunteers first.)
