I'm using 3.3.6, when everything was messed up, I did try version 4.0.2, which I managed to start at a very low resolution (I had trouble configuring XF86Config-4, and I was missing a tool called dexter, I thnk).
Anyway, I've solved the problem. After trying: dpkg --force-depends -P xbase-clients xcontrib xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-base xfree86-common xfstt xlib6g xlib6g-dev xserver-common xserver-svga xterm xviddetect I was able to reinstall XFree 3.3.6..
