You can still download the beta for 10.2:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/download/
Yes, but unfortunately the public beta page and the 1.0 page end up
resolving to the same download. I went to the public beta page, did
the download, and when the installer arrived on my desktop it refused
to run because 10.3 was required. So I went back and analyzed the
links. The results are shown on this chart:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/download/ (X11 for Mac OS X Public
Beta; requirements: Mac OS X v10.2 Jaguar or later )
http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/xii/nph-x11.hqx
http://appledownload.speedera.net/X11/us/user/061-
0859.20031027.WPr65/X11User.dmg
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/download/ (Get X11 for Mac
OS X; requirements: Mac OS X v10.3)
http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/xii/nph-dnld
http://appledownload.speedera.net/X11/us/user/061-
0859.20031027.WPr65/X11User.dmg
which is intended to show in a more analytic way what I already said in
english above.
So I am hoping someone at apple can correct this, so that the public
beta can actually be downloaded by those who need it. As for the
reasons...

I don't see how an unsupported beta of Apple X11 on 10.2 would be
desirable for application use or development,
Because it will *allow* application development to proceed while some
components are temporarily stuck in 10.2 land due to 10.3 compatibility
problems, while those problems are in the process of being resolved.
and if you don't want or
can't get 10.3 for whatever reason, there are other ways to run X11 on
Mac OS X.
But I would assume that XDarwin is less likely to resemble X11 1.0 than
the X11 public beta would, no? The single-user license price for
XDarwin far exceeds the price of the *freeware* I am porting to OS X
with the help of X11, so the ultimate use of XDarwin (to allow use of a
single application only) might not be an option.
