I added a correctly formated version of the above to my "sources"
file, and did an "apt-get upgrade".  It grabbed (and eventually
installed) many -- but not all -- of the packages.  It gave an error
message (which I can't remember!) implying that there were "problems"
installing the additional files.  I *am* able to use the new X server,
but it is using a combination of old and 4.3 files ...

I've separately transfered all of the files to the machine in
question.  What would people suggest I do now to complete the entire
XFree86 upgrade?

Sorry I can't remember the *exact* error message ...
