   There are the newer binaries at
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.3.1/binaries/Hurd .
Look also at http://f77.nop.or.jp/doc/XFree86-3.3.3.1.html for details.

 I don't need it on my box.I have created /etc/ld.so.conf.May be it

   I'm not sure that it can help now.You can use XF86Config from linux
