Guy: I did not think of this option. The XFree package is not directly available from the foundation's web page for the Mac, however, Fink (a porting project to bring programs from the UNIX world to the Mac world) does have an XFree package available.
To user Fink you first have to install the Fink basic package and then install other packages using it. I will warn, however, that there are dependencies to the XFree package from what I remember and it may take a long time to install. Apple makes it easier by combining all that is needed into one very neat package.
