Well, you can buy an X server for PC-DOS now from Locus...  They'll have
to do some more work on it, though, before it becomes really usable.

The problem is, you need a couple-thousand-dollar PC (and probably an
$500-600 ethernet card), which, if you don't happen to *have* a PC,
makes an X terminal pretty attractive.
