A couple of things:
xorg is the default X windows system in 5.3.  You must explicitly say if you 
want Xfree86.  See below.  Also, you are talking about two intentionally 
separate directives.  The one that asks XFREE86_VERSION was put in place 
when Xfree86-4 came onto the scene and some people may have still preferred 
version 4 over version 3.  The X_WINDOW_SYSTEM directive lets you choose 
between Xorg and Xfree86.
