We have indeed thought about providing the Type1 fonts in Tex for usage under X, but this is a long-term goal. Currently most of our time is spent on license issues, ways to provide users with a not-outdated TeX system for etch, and the daily work of bugs drippling in. We still hope to accomplish the big tetex-base restructuring before etch, including the fonts package for X, but I can't promise anything.
