I might get "xserver" confused with "Xserver", since Apple seems to have
chosen that name now.

How about "x11-server"?

And also note that a server is generally not needed to *build* a
product, just *run* it.  But there may be the few cases where it's
needed to *build* it, so be careful where you put that.

As long as you don't call it "X-Windows" [1] over my dead body... :)



[1] c.f. "man X" ->

       The X Consortium requests that the following names be used
       when referring to this software:

                                   X
                            X Window System
                              X Version 11
                      X Window System, Version 11
                                  X11
