The current rawhide xorg-x11 src.rpm should require very little
modification to get building and running on RHL 9 I believe.  You
will need to first upgrade freetype to FC2 or later (it needs
freetype 2.1.7 or newer).  You might need a few other upgrades
also, but nothing springs to mind.

Since Red Hat Linux 9 is unsupported for ages now though, and wont
be getting any security or other bugfix updates from Red Hat, I
strongly recommend upgrading the OS to Fedora Core 2 or 3 instead
however.
