Yes i have been following the development for a while. The patch that is
in svn compiles but there is an error in CreateWellKnownSockets (or
something similar) down into xlibs that i didn't had the time to fix yet.
The breakage were fixed (at least according to the discussions on some
xfree86 mailing lists) and they were all related to the different
behaviour of bsd, solaris and linux kernel in handling sockets.
That required some bits to be tuned here and there.

Status: we the actual amount of tasks and the things going on i doubt i
can manage to do anything useful in less than a few weeks ( around a month
i think ).
We will see how far we can go otherwise tough luck. IPv6 is nice but we
need to be realistic that it might not be in for sarge, until someone
wants to help (debian-ipv6 in CC).
