The MIT sources won't help you for 1 and 3, since the xnews server uses its 
own weird font file format (inherited from NeWS, I believe). However, there
are equivalents for bdftosnf and mkfontdir, called convertfont and bldfamily,
respectively -- check out the man pages.

The OpenWindows Xlib and Xt libs should be R4 compatible, so you should be
able to compile Xmu from the MIT distribution.
