It's doing that by design.

Yep.

Other people specifically didn't want that. They want to use gnomescreensaver, or xscreensaver, or whatever to control the screensaver when X11 is fullscreen. It's been that way for quite some time.
Also, this prevents the display from sleeping if you are watching a movie in an X11 video player.

Yeah, that seems about right.

What do you mean by "a raft of packages"? The only dependencies not provided by the system or XQuartz are quite standard:
autoconf
automake
glibtool
pkg-config
The first three are actually on your system if you're on an older OS X (I think they were removed in 10.8).
Most of the info you need can be found at (hopefully not too out of date, edits welcome =>):
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/DeveloperInfo
Or you could just use MacPorts.
Hope that helps.
