Installing XFree from source


I need to get the source, apply a patch, and reinstall XFree 4.3.0. I went to a mirror site, and I see SEVERAL source tarballs. X430src-1.tgz, X430src-2.tgz, X430src-3.tgz. The readme says the contents of the files are as follows:

X430src-1.tgz required source
X430src-2.tgz required source
X430src-3.tgz required source
X430src-4.tgz fonts
X430src-5.tgz fonts
X430src-6.tgz doc spec source
X430src-7.tgz doc spec hardcopy


So, how do I go about this? Do I just need the first 3 tarballs? When I get them, do I unpack them all to the same directory? Where do I go from there?
