libxfont, to be precise the development package, is required to build
the xserver for ogon-backend-x.

You shouldn't. See
https://github.com/ogon-project/ogon/blob/master/doc/build-debian-ubuntu.md
it's really only installed as build dependency for the xserver. I didn't
try but libxfont2 might work out of the box. If not an update of the
xserver might be necessary.

Yes. For ogon we do have a clone of FreeRDP
https://github.com/ogon-project/freerdp-ogon which contains the state we
worked and tested with. The reasons for that are: simplify development
when there were a lot of FreeRDP changes prior the final 2.0.0 and
second as there are no packages (yet ;) to ease building, and as FreeRDP is a core
component and heavily used to have a fixed state to test against.
However updating to the latest FreeRDP is on my map for a while. I'll
try to move that up the list. Until then I'd cherry pick FreeRDP 2
support. If I didn't miss anything the following commit should be
sufficient:
https://github.com/ogon-project/ogon/commit/47ac3c794ca9842261fc7008baffd5a3d7ff2ce7
So long,
Bernhard
