As mentioned, XDarwin is freely available, although some third
parties will charge you a fee for distributing it. (This is allowed
under its open source license.)
In any case the next release of XFree86, version 4.4.0, will very
closely resemble X11 1.0. XFree68 4.4.0 should be available in late
December. The two should largely be equivalent with each one having
small advantages. Of course the main advantage for XFree86 4.4.0 is
that it will be supported all the way back to Mac OS X 10.1.x. (Mac
OS X 10.2 will be required to get equivalent GLX performance to X11
1.0.)
