I stumbled on this:

It has source code, and is for FreeBSD.

I have run commercial software that was compiled for FreeBSD on NetBSD
(just have to add "Binary Compatibility" to the kernel config.

Any thoughts/ideas here?

X display drivers have kernel mode components and its not remotely easy to take a kernel module from FreeBSD and drop it into NetBSD they are very different. The binary compatibility only extends to application components not kernel components.
