XFree86 is one implementation of X11, xorg-x11 is another (forked)
implementation. So if it depends on X11 you are fine. If it depends on
xorg you aren't.

Is this a dependency for the non-suse rpms that someone pointed you to
yesterday, or for compiling?

not necessarily at a dead end, but yes sticking with your distros
updates is the best way to go. (am I sounding like a stuck record?)
