Apparently there may be a fix for the MTRR for libpciaccess-0.12.0, here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit/2010-July/026384.html Has the modularization of the XOrg-7.x progressed enough that I could use 0.12.0 instead of 0.10.9?

Can't say how far the error might propagate, but I take memory management problems (MTRR) seriously. I'm still building. All that's built for X so far is twm and fluxbox. They do come up. I can get the fluxbox menu, and start an xterm, issue a few commands, but that's all I can say for now. I don't like leaving error warnings. If this isn't a known, patchable problem, should I fall back to 7.4, or jump to 7.6? All I'm building for is a KISS desktop daily driver. USB thumb drives are certainly going to be the only hotplug devices, for example.
