The source code for X can be downloaded from:


http://www.x.org/download.htm

Should be a fun little porting project for anybody with sufficient desire and
free time.  ;-)

Given that X is ultimately just a sockets-based programming library, and that
once upon a time HP did port it to MPE, I believe it could be re-ported
successfully (he said, never having looked at the source code).  But I suspect
you might find the performance to be lacking.
