xforms is a library for creating X applications, offix is a set of X
clients (file manager, trashcan, ...).
X-Forms is used by some programs such as LyX but I don't know how much
other programs use it. What I know is that a 0.86 version of the library
is available which is *not* compatible with the older one, so if you use
LyX, you'd better not upgrade now.
Offix is quite independent (it mainly depends on the Dnd library), so you
may upgrade it.

Sorry, I don't know.
Hope it helps
