Not as package, port however is still there. Send me a mail if you'd be 
willing to test this fix with XFree port.

Most probably, see http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=591 where 
the patch from changelog #133 in XFree86 is posted. The files in question 
don't have XFree86 licence version 1.1.

Some patches are included in bugzilla entries before they get into CVS (this 
one is in freedesktop's bugzilla #591 so if it fixes bug #1109 that should be 
noted there). It's also usually noted in bugzilla entry when patch gets 
commited to CVS. For others that have been commited you can check through web 
based CVS browser (like http://freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?root=xorg 
for X.Org). Probably the easiest way to see what patches have been applied to 
ports is through freshports (http://www.freshports.org).
