Who cares? :-)

It is my experience that the X11R3 distribution from MIT compiles and runs
successfully on 4Ds. It is highly likely that the X11R4 distribution will do
the same.

This means that you can get X11R4 right away, *and* you have source so you
can fix things...

Of course if you don't have time or energy to support X yourself, then you
will have to wait for SGI to get around to porting and testing R4.
