You are speaking upstream cvs, right ?

no i was speaking about rebuilding debian package, but i have read on
debian-xfree (or whatever is the name of that mailing list) that someone did
work on a xfree package stuff that may do just what you want, check the
archive for this.

BTW, apart from that, you may just need to replace the source tarball in
the xfree package from branden by the upstream one, and naturrally remove all
the debian patches, since they will most probably not apply anymore.
