OK - but a few more questions and observations:
- Are you displaying them on another Mac? In which case, you can do that
without X, the Mac  can do that anyway.
- Why not VNC? It works really well, is surprisingly light on resources,
and has the merit of being naturally cross-platform, more so than X, and
means the app can run natively on its host.

However, if you have your heart set on using X, then I don't know why it
doesn't build. Assuming you have the X development stuff installed, I
think it used to Just Work. A Mac not using Aqua but using X instead
does look an awful lot like a BSD box...

What does it complain about when it fails?
It may be necessary to massage the makeinclude file a bit by hand to get
the correct libs and linker invocation, I suspect, as the configure
script may not have been tested against the X-on-X config in a long
time.
