Building Xquartz from source



I am new to this mailing list, but have been poking around in the
archives, particularly a message (uh, now I lost it again) from Ben
Byers suggesting to get the source from the X.org git repository and
compile and test your own Xquartz.

So I tried that, but it seems my autoconf (from darwinports) is too
old or something, for it complains bitterly:

configure.ac:33: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:34: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
[... and several more like it ...]

So what version of autoconf is needed?  Is there anything else I need
to know to build this beast?  Are there build instructions floating
around on the X.org website somewhere?  I am quite experienced in
building sofware from source, but mostly on other unixes, not so much
on the Mac - so it's good to be aware of any special OS X specific
gotchas.
