here's what I did (many thanks to Michael Danzer for his help!):
>>>
here's what I do with my CVS X install, to keep it from messing up my
packaged install:
edit hosts.def file in the CVS tree; tell it to install to /usr/local/X11R6
instead of /usr/X11R6
make & install X
edit /etc/ld.so.conf, and change the path to X, to be
/usr/local/X11R6/<whatever>
change the symlink in /etc/X11/X to point to /usr/local/X11R6/bin/XFree86 
(XFree86 is SUID root in my CVS-installed version)
edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and change the library paths in there
to point to /usr/local/X11R6

if you have problems, just do 'startx 2>x.log', and take a look at x.log
(it'll be a bit more readable than /var/log/XFree86.0.log). see what's
getting loaded from where.
