OK, I've removed all packages reported by pkg_info, except bochs.  

sparc2# pkg_info
bochs-2.6.2nb2      IA32 and AMD64 PC emulator

Only the essentials were installed from the nfs server.
peter@dalton:/export/sparc2/root$ find . -type f -name 'x*' -print
peter@dalton:/export/sparc2/root$ find . -type f -name 'X*' -print

According to 
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-6.1.4/sparc/INSTALL.html#Binary%20distribution%20sets
I've retrieved the xbase.tgz to / and "... run the tar -xzpf command from the 
root directory ( / ) ...".

Now,
sparc2# startx -display :0
xauth:  file /root/.serverauth.666 does not exist
xinit: unable to run server "/usr/X11R7/bin/X": No such file or directory
Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/X11R7/bin is in your path and
that "/usr/X11R7/bin/X" is a program or a link to the right type of server
for your display.  Possible server names include:

    Xorg        Common X server for most displays
    Xvfb        Virtual frame buffer
    Xfake       kdrive-based virtual frame buffer
    Xnest       X server nested in a window on another X server
    Xephyr      kdrive-based nested X server
    Xvnc        X server accessed over VNC's RFB protocol
    Xdmx        Distributed Multi-head X server

xinit: server error
sparc2# ls -ld /usr/X11R7/bin/X*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  27271 Sep 28  2013 /usr/X11R7/bin/Xmark
sparc2#

Still no X server.

http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-x.html
 "In NetBSD 5.0, the amd64, i386, macppc, shark, sgimips, and sparc64 
 ports use X.Org and the rest use XFree86."

What about NetBSD 6?  Is XFree86 still advised for sparc?  
It's shifted to X.Org?

Thanks,                  ... Peter E.
