you need:

xbase-clients
xfont-base
xserver-xfree86
xterm

and a window manager (since fvwm* wasn't avaiable, I took vtwm).

And then I took the XF86Config from my notebook, where I'm alreay running
XFree 4.0.2 (server only so far), put it in place (/etc/X11/XF86Config) and
defined a fbdev device. I've attached my current XF86Config from the 712.
To use this XF86Config you also need a new kernel with PS/2 mouse support.
