Could Peter's problem actually be from an out of date XTrans?  I ran  
into this several weeks ago too, I think.

Peter, you might want to try building a new XTrans from git (that's  
what I did IIRC), or upgrading to the latest RC1 perhaps.

I do something like this in xserver (just to make sure the configure  
and Makefiles get generated properly):

$ make distclean
$ sh autogen.sh
$ sh gps_conf_debug.sh
$ bld_install.sh

$ cat gps_conf_debug.sh

export ACLOCAL="aclocal -I /usr/X11/share/aclocal"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig

export CFLAGS="-ggdb -Wall -arch i386 -arch ppc -pipe"
export LDFLAGS="-Wall -arch i386 -arch ppc -pipe"

./configure --prefix=/usr/X11 \
  --with-mesa-source=/Users/gps/Downloads/Mesa-7.0.4 \
  --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-integrated-xpbproxy

The script below deserves some explanation.  It's used because the  
dependencies for some targets in XQuartz are missing, and fixing the  
automake code to work isn't something I know how to do at the moment.   
I told Jeremy about it.  He's more of a wizard with automake than I  
am, but it hasn't been fixed yet.

$ cat bld_install.sh
rm hw/xquartz/mach-startup/X11; make && sudo make install


If you track the git log, and git diff changes, you can often avoid  
the full reconfigure step, by just running something like this to  
regenerate the Makefile depending on what was changed.

$ automake hw/xquartz/Makefile
