I'm fairly sure that all versions of the NetBSD/mac68k X server (both
Scott's Xmac68k and Ken's Xmacbsd) are X11R6.1 servers.

This header is there purely to provide compatibility with (much) older X10
server code.  X10 hasn't been used in quite a while (in fact, the Alice
group was probably still in junior high, maybe highschool, when X10 was
being used).

It may be that it's looking in the wrong spot.  I'm not on my home machine
at the moment, so I can't look, tho.

I'm not entirely sure how to do this, although I think that most window
managers have an "info" menu option which will show this information.

No, it doesn't.  There are quite a few changes necessary to make it work,
like supporting mac68k adb and grf devices.  No patches for the X
Consortium's sources are available either.  However, there is some effort
underway to get a NetBSD Xserver made (i.e. one set of sources that will
build on all NetBSD platforms).  Once this is done, making changes should
be easy.

I hope this helps clear a few things up.

Later.
