Building X is rather simple (at least on i386 and sparc). With FreeBSD,
just cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 and answer the few questions before
it compiles. You want /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-contrib, too.

a) -g (disable GUI) is implied if $DISPLAY is not set.
b) no X libs to link with means that cvsup will compile without
	GUI support. I'm not sure of the statically linked cvsup
	from the cvsup-bin port does X.

P.S. Have fun on the other side, Al. New York won't survive the
peace and quiet you leave behind :-)
