I think you need Xbin.tgz and Xprog.tgz from the appropriate place (i.e.
${XVERSION}/binaries/FreeBSD-${FREEBSDVERSION}) or your nearest XFree86
mirror, or /cdrom/XF86335 if you have the CDs. Once you have those, I
think you can just extract "lib/*" and "include/*", i.e. do
# cd /usr/X11R6
# tar xzfv Xbin.tgz "include/*" "lib/*"
# tar xzfv Xprog.tgz "include/*" "lib/*"
I'm not sure if this will work, but it's worth a try. The programs which
need the X libraries may well need a display to run (though I'm sure gd
doesn't).
