You've got it almost right: you want the line to say

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X

(assuming there is a symlink from your xserver to X, or otherwise the full
name of the xserver, and assuming that is the path to it - some people put
it in /usr/local/X11R6/bin )

Most of the config stuff works right out of the box, in order to get it to
give me an xsession, I had to comment out the GiveConsole and TakeConsole
foo, I have not had a chance to work on it though, because i am away from
the console until break is over (jan. 9th ) Also you may want to do a 
man xsm (i think that's the session managers name)
that'll tell you how to set up an xclients and so on for xdm sessions.

Sorry for the long-windedness on the list, hope this helps, and please let
me know if you figure out the {Get,Take}Console foo, I'll do the same when
I get back to my machine.
