X11R6.8(.2) can be installed with Fink or DarwinPorts. This release
is the first to support translucent windows, also shadows as windows
decoration. Sun used it as basis for its Looking Glass. Starting with
X11R6.8.1 XOrg can be fetched via CVS.
XFree86 4.6.x has the X Rendering Extension (XRender, taken from Plan
9) only partially implemented: the transparency and anti-aliased text
parts.
Could be the real need is a modern libXft and lib FreeType 2 –
because, xdpyinfo on Apple's X server tells that it has already the
RENDER extension. You never tried the patch in X11?
