That's why God made shims.

Actually you can mount the track and doors before adding the side jams in most 
cases because the hardware doesn't usually attach to the side jam although 
sometimes it does.

You may be able to mount the doors offset by the thickness of the side jams 
then once satisfied install the jams and shim them out to agree with the doors.

I have not done this but it seems a probable solution.

  Good point Dale,

  I would need to measure down from the top, the same distance on each side, 
  mark that, then measure the diagonals.

  Technically, if the top jam is level, and the side jams are plumb, then 
  they should be square. But technically, and should sometimes don't get 
  you all the way there. *GRIN*
