Yes.

Grab the source code for X11 from
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/xsrc/{file}
where {file} is contrib.tar.gz, local.tar.gz, top-level.tar.gz,
xc.tar.gz, and xfree.tar.gz. These files contain an X11 source tree
customized for NetBSD. Expand it into /usr, this will creat a /usr/xsrc
directory. Switch to /usr/xsrc and type "make build" (I think this is
the correct command but I don't have the NetBSD guide handy).
Compilation will take many hours.
