However, these are not fully compatible with Fink:  there are a few packages
that don't build against XFree86 4.3, and there isn't a separate
system-xfree86 for XFree86-4.3 (yet).

Precompiled 4.3 binaries have been out for a while at
<ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.3.0/binaries/Darwin-ppc-6.x/>.
Installation is not point and drool, but it is close, and just means
answering a couple y/n questions, which would be done anyway with a gui
installer.

I've been using these binaries for about 2 months on a G3 and a G4 w/out
any problems.

The XonX page at mrcla.com is out of date, but the sourceforge project
page has just recently added downloads to a gui DMG installer at
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/xonx/>.
