Yes you do need linux-xorg-libraries.

file /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
  /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386,
version 1 (FreeBSD), not stripped

My notes from the install  Dec 15  2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cp files to hard disk as per handbook.
Set fallback sysctl
run install
edit scripts in /usr/local/bin to use
PATH="/compat/linux/usr/bin:/compat/linux/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:${PATH}"
edit
/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/5.2/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/SystemResources/X/XMathematica

*fontList: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-18-100-*-*-*-*-*-*
*screenXResolution: 147
*screenYResolution: 147

Useful to avoid warning on first start up

edit /usr/local/bin/math  to use linux proc and mount it.

/usr/local/bin/math:        cpuvendor=`cat /compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo | grep
'vendor_id' | awk '{print $3}' | uniq`
/usr/local/bin/math:        cpuid=`cat /compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo | grep 'cpu
family' | awk '{print $4}' | uniq`
/usr/local/bin/math:            OMP_NUM_THREADS=`cat
/compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l | tr -d ' '`;
