Unless you want to build KDrive or X.Org from CVS for yourself (follow the links in the Resources section), you'll have to wait until the next release of X.Org. I've no idea when that'll be available for OS X. X.Org over XFree86 has a political story behind it, you can find it covered on Slashdot if you search for X.Org there. The basic reason is changes in the XFree86 licensing.

  But X.Org is such a horribly stupid name.
  It's worse than OpenOffice.org.
  Noone should ever use software whose name ends
  in .org, .net, .com or some other imitation thereof. It's ridiculous. It's a windowing server, not a hostname/website. They can have http://x.org, and that's fine, but called a piece of software x.org is horribly stupid.
