Xsun has Xrender support as well in Solaris 9. But the point is, XFree is 
simply under par on some platforms, and it doesn't make sence to make it a 
requirement. Quoting from the Release notes for Xfree86 4.3.0:

"Experimental support for SunOS/Solaris on UltraSPARC systems."

Sorry, but I'm not giving up Xsun anytime soon on my usparc64. I'd rather 
things are stable than have flaky coloured cursors, and I'm sure all other 
KDE/Solaris users feel the same way.
