    Will R4 (In other words, will R4 be available, in toto, via anonymous ftp)?

Of course.

    would I be wasting my time writing my program for R3?

The question is too general, but No would be a good general answer.

    How easy will it be to update R3 code to R4 code?

Again too general, but in general it should be very easy.  For X Consortium
standards, upward compatibility is a general requirement.

    I'm assuming that there will be an R4 version of the Intrinsics,

Yes.

    what toolkits will also be available with the distribution?

If you mean Xt-based toolkits: Athena Widget Set, Xcu, Xw, SUIT.

    will [Motif] come with R4

No.
