nope. there may be some stuff that runs or is allowed at runlevel 3,
that you need. besides, that way you can keep on working, reading your mail,
etc, while X is building.

yeah; especially when you have a small root partition, with other
partitions hanging off it. (/home is usually set up to be fairly large, if
it's a separate partition; so that's where you should do all the
downloading, compiling, etc.)
just do a 'mv /root/<path-to-whereever>/xc /home/<your
username>/source/X/xc' (make sure that the path you're moving the files to
is created, of course).
then do 'chown -R <username>.<username>
/home/<username>/source/X/xc'; so the files will be owned by the user, and
he'll have permission to modify them.
