Hello,
You could get the xorg version with the below command

$ Xorg -version

This gives details.

 Every xorg rpm has completely different version numbers,
 and none of them look much like the xorg release numbers
 like 6.8 or 7.4 (or whatever they are up to these days).

I use yum to get version info when I can't get it otherwise.

yum info xorg*

will print out all xorg modules and their versions. I think you probably are 
looking for the xorg-x11-server-common version.

Ask the 3rd party to clarify what they mean?

 It implies that maybe I could check the versions of all the
 individual modules to see if they are all = the collection
 released with xorg 7.whatever, but the release notes for
 the most recent 7.5 for example don't seem to document
 the individual module versions anywhere, so I still have no
 idea how to tell :-(.

Yeah, thats why any 3rd party that says that is unclear... 
ask them what the real requirement is? Is it a x server version?
Development packages? what?

Check the xorg server package. In F12 I think it is 1.7.x. So check  
the xorg release notes or xorg FTP to see the xorg version that  
contains that package.. or the Fedora release notes.

Regards.
