Welcome back. You must have really missed hacking, since you spend the 
first days home hacking instead of adding the last Cuba entry to your LJ :-)

I wonder if this is really necessary. Why not keep the XFree-libraries as
non-default, and if people want to use the XFree86-server, they can set
XFREE86_VERSION?

Well perhaps we do it the same way, as we did it with XFree 3 vs 4.
Defining XFREE86_VERSION in make.conf.
