add -u to the command above and it shouldn't rebuild the toolchain and
so on unless necessary.

I feel your pain.
You can still build X natively when you installed the base system.
By 'natively' I mean 'using the traditional way instead of build.sh'.
This has the drawback that you can't easily crossbuild but on the other
hand it doesn't depend on tool builds and all that and it will build
only X.
To do that put something like this into xsrc/xfree/xc/config/cf/host.def
#define DefaultCCOptions        -mcpu=3D ultrasparc -mtune=3Dultrasparc -O2
#define XF86CardDrivers         ati sunffb
#define XsunServer              NO
#define XsunMonoServer          NO
#define Xsun24Server            NO

none of these is strictly necessary but this way you can set
optimization parameters and avoid building support for hardware you
don't have, like SBus framebuffers and the various Xsun servers.

Then cd into xsrc/xfree/xc and run make World
This will clean up, create loads of Makefiles and build X. To rebuild
after source change just run make ( this skips the configuration,
Makefile creation and cleanup steps ), to install use make install.

If just want to update X or installed the fonts some other way put
#define BuildFonts              NO
in there too ( and run make World again to update all the Makefiles ) to
avoid building and installing all the fonts - saves a lot of time.

Hey, you did remarkably well ;)

have fun
