Here's the easiest way to get started:
* 1 package (and one setup.hint) per binary tarball.
* make sure that each package lists all it's dependencies.
* edit the install script you've got, to remove any tarball extraction
stuff, and put it in a new tarball called 'X11-install' or something as
a postinstall script, and make sure that the server/client packages
depend on that.
That should do it. Oh, explicitly list the source for all the packages
as the same source tarball (if that's what exists for X).
Cheers,
Rob
