I appreciate your effort, especially because i'm a bit autistic about this
issue.

Here is what i have:

port:
http://ftp.fortunaty.net/DragonFly/inofficial/dfports/X.org-6.8.1/
http://ftp.fortunaty.net/DragonFly/inofficial/dfports/X.org-6.8.1.tar.bz2

package:
http://ftp.fortunaty.net/DragonFly/inofficial/packages/All/X.org-6.8.1.tgz

It is monolithic how i like it and how drhodus wanted it when he asked for it
(though he seems to have forgot about that since then).

Most problems are explained in the pkg-message:

----8<---- pkg-message ----8<---- 

PLEASE NOTE

* If it locks up try without DRI.


* The default keyboard driver changed to kbd.
  If some keys do not seem to work add

  Option "XkbdModel" "pc105"


* Threaded programms don't work unless libc_r is preloaded.
  Either start X with it preloaded or the programms that need it
  or set it in your shellrc:

    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libc_r.so startx
    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libc_r.so firefox

* to avoid depency issues use portupgrade and add to pkgtools.conf:

  ALT_PKGDEP = {
        'x11*/XFree86*'         => :skip,
        'x11*/xorg*'            => :skip,
        'x11-fonts/libXft'      => :skip,
        'devel/imake*'          => :skip,
        'lang/gcc*'             => :skip
  }

---->8---- pkg-message ---->8----
