You'll need a changes file to upload to the Nexenta repository. It should be generated automatically when you build a package from sources. I'm curious to know how you built this package without building it from a source?
I just created a wiki page with the basic steps to porting a package. As you run into difficulty feel free to update the page or let me know and I'll try to help and update the page as well. http://www.nexenta.org/os/BuildingPackages As far as X is concerned, I'm not sure as I don't use X on my servers but you should probably check the x configuration. Also, it is just X and not a display manager/window manager.
