Who doesn't? :)

Sorry if I'm missing anything, but why not do something like this (it's what
I've been using for some time now):
Define ProjectRoot to something other than /usr/X11R6 in your CVS tree's
host.def . That way you can have one or even several local X installations. Or
you can even run directly out of the CVS tree by setting the ModulePath
accordingly.
Of course you still need to have the X packages installed to keep dpkg and
friends happy.
Hope this suggestion is valuable,
Michel
