Have a look at the build-dependencies of xfree86 as on
http://buildd.debian.org/andrea/mips/source-dependencies-unstable.gz:
xfree86: libfreetype6-dev, libncurses5-dev (>= 5.2.20020112a-1), libpam0g-dev (>= 0.72-1), zlib1g-dev (>= 1:1.1.3)
add the build-essential packet to this and you should be fine.
