But you must have the /usr/X11R6 directory?  Make a symlink to /usr/X11:

ln -s /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11

To extract your X11, try the SVGA driver first.  As root user, go to
the /usr/X11R6 directory and do the following:

gzip -dc /cdrom/XF86331/X331SVGA.tgz | tar xvf -
gzip -dc /cdrom/XF86331/X331cfg.tgz | tar xvf -
gzip -dc /cdrom/XF86331/X331doc.tgz | tar xvf -
gzip -dc /cdrom/XF86331/X331lib.tgz | tar xvf -
gzip -dc /cdrom/XF86331/X331man.tgz | tar xvf -

After which you'll have your X11.  If you wanted to run the server, you
need the server programs too.

And then, proceed...
