We are only concerned about shared libs, .so-files. Archive libs,
.a-files, are not at issue. To check which type of executable the shared
lib is,
% file libXaw.so.6.1
libXaw.so.6.1: FreeBSD/i386 compact demand paged shared library not stripped
Which will tells you its an aout executable. Of course, I just _now_ I
just realized that from the name of your files. Any lib with two numbers
(x.x) at the end is aout.

You do not need to make X all on your own. There is a port for X,
/usr/ports/x11/XFree86.
What you need to do is make sure the ELF shared libs are in
/usr/X11R6/lib and the aout in /usr/X11R6/lib/aout. Then make sure
that your lib hints are configured correctly,
% ldconfig -elf -r | grep directories
search directories: /usr/lib:/usr/lib/compat:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/lib
% ldconfig -aout -r | grep directories
search directories: /usr/lib/aout:/usr/lib/compat/aout:/usr/X11R6/lib/aout:/usr/local/lib/aout
See ldconfig(8) to check on how to fix the configuration if it is
messed up.
