XFree86 was replaced with xorg-x11 in Fedora Core something. The two
projects share the same codebase (xorg is a fork off XFree86), and the
resulting packages are very similar, too.

So when a package XFree86-something is required use xorg-x11-something
instead. That's a golden rule of thumb :)

Many xorg-x11 package provide the old XFree86 entities for backwards
compatibility.

You are certainly on the safe side if you use system-package-config to
install all X11 bits, or use yum groupinstall with some X11 groups.
