Uh, you posted earlier why you're compiling from source, but I deleted
the old mail and I'm to lazy to go to the archives looking for it.  But
just in case you didn't have a good reason, you can get a binary for
XFree86 4.1.0 from
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386/XF86-4.1.0-1.5.2/xfree410-152.tgz
I thought I saw an announcement that they had 4.2.0 available, but it's
not mentioned on http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/i386/ You can probably get
it from ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/ though.
