This will atrempt to build XFree86 via src/x11. build.sh sets will
complain about extra files in DESTDIR. No idea which drivers it will
build ( hint: all the SBus ones will be fairly useless ) I think your
best bet is to look at xsrc/xfree/xc/config/cf/*NetBSD* and try to build
it via make World in xc first, to get things working at all. Prepare for
some hackery.

No idea, for sparc64 I just added all the extra files to the set lists,
stole most of the entries from i386 after getting it to work. Worry
about the lists later.

have fun
