Maybe you don't have the 386bsd.cf config file that comes with a patch kit 
applicable to X386 1.2E for 386bsd usage. In this case imake includes the
config for i386 which is most likely a sysV configuration. There is a 
file of about 76K size named 386BSD.X386-1.2E.diff (on agate?, at least 
here 134.91.4.132 (ftp.uni-duisburg.de) /pub/unix/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/ports/X386
where I found the 386bsd.cf file (among other essential things).
It may be overriden by a more recent patch to X386-1.2E.

The only small bug I found with compiling from the mit sources (after 
application of all the patches) were two SPACE characters at the end of
lines in an Imakefile in a PEX subdirectory, which cause the make break
in this location. You'll find out very soon.

Hope that helps

Holger
