It is worth a try, let us know what happened.

Well, the Debian packages are useful to fulfill the package dependencies.
The packages will work with them, for example on a remote X display over the
network.
If you really want to try to run native X servers, you can try to just get
the server binary from the X site and follow Uchiyama's instructions anyway.
It should work, because the versions are very similar, IIRC.
Or you can try to fake Debian packages and use everything from Uchiyama.
Anyway, there are only two times you can download it, the (comparable) small
Debian packages from alpha.gnu.org and whatever you get from Uchiyama
(official X site).
Thanks,
