In case anyone has interest. I was able to use jhbuild to install xorg 7.6 on LFS 6.8 w/ package users fairly easily.
I installed jhbuild as pkguser jhbuild. copied modulesets to ~. I had issues running it as intended for two reasons: 1. I did not want to use /opt as a prefix. 2. using /usr as a prefix meant changing mode so jhbuild could create an empty file in /usr/etc/gconf.... I set the main configuration prefix to a directory in tools and added --prefix-/usr, --sysconfdir=/etc and --libdir=/usr/lib to autogenargs. I had to change prefix/share/jhbuild/packagedb.xml to allow package users to write to it (chmode 644; chown 0:9999). Since many of the bootstrap modules were installed or newer I re-installed them as the package user. ie: jhbuild -f ../jhbuild/.jhbuildrc -m bootstrap build -f $(whoami) to populate packagedb.xml. I then downloaded modulesets form x.org and installed. If anyone expresses interest, I'll write up more detail.
