gpconfig (not cgconfig) just initializes the GP2 graphics processor (aka
GXP).  It has nothing to do with X.

You can use the cg8 patches posted to comp.sources.x.  However, I think
you will have to run a patched server on the cg9 and a normal server on
the cg6.

Don't know.

>#4: Is there a version of the server with GPX support?

If you mean GXP (GP2/cg9), no.  If you mean GX (cg6), use Sun OW2.0.

No.
