In your favorite Debian mirror, there should be a file
/debian/dists/*/main/Contents-hurd-i386.gz which lists the files
of all available packages. You could zgrep that for the missing
commands and install the corresponding packages.
There's also a contents search at
<http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages>, but I don't know if
it's aware of the Hurd.

Yes, X can do this. I haven't tried it with the Hurd, though.
