My Xpert 128 is on a linux box, I had the same problem. I snagged the SuSE xsvga.rpm for the 6.3 SuSE and that server did the trick. If you get a patch to a server, you basically apply the patch to the server source and compile the server again. With FreeBSD I suspect this would be fairly simple, I never did any manual compiles of XFree on the FreeBSD box, but under linux it is a tedious chore. Just a guess, but couldn't you apply the patch after a cvsup then just make world? Maybe just make under the server toplevel would do it...worth a shot.
