I may not be the best one to answer this..  

There are binaries at
ftp://releng3.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/alpha/4.0-20000208-CURRENT/XF86336/ 

However, people have been complaining that one of the X libs is
missing from the snapshot.  I'm not sure if that affects the binaries
in this location or not.

If it were me, I'd just build X from ports.
