I am using autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10 from Macports.
Do a 'sudo port -v selfupdate && sudo port -v upgrade active' to get
the latest versions of your installed ports.

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.
