Well, technically they should still build as long as you use the shipped
configure script and don't have to autoreconf, but if you need to patch
the autotool machinery in any way, that is a problem.

Here's what's left on my todo list, based on modules with changes in
git since their last tag:

 app/beforelight
 app/fonttosfnt
 app/fslsfonts
 app/fstobdf
 app/ico
 app/listres
 app/oclock
 app/proxymngr
 app/rendercheck
 app/rgb
 app/rstart
 app/scripts
 app/showfont
 app/twm
 app/viewres
 app/xbiff
 app/xcalc
 app/xcompmgr
 app/xconsole
 app/xdbedizzy
 app/xditview
 app/xedit
 app/xf86dga
 app/xfd
 app/xfindproxy
 app/xfontsel
 app/xfs
 app/xfsinfo
 app/xfwp
 app/xgc
 app/xinit
 app/xkbprint
 app/xload
 app/xlogo
 app/xlsfonts
 app/xmessage
 app/xmh
 app/xmore
 app/xrestop
 app/xsetmode
 app/xsetpointer
 app/xsm
 app/xstdcmap
 app/xtrap
 app/xvidtune
 proto/printproto
 proto/trapproto
 util/cf
 util/imake
 util/lndir

I'm not including drivers in my list, since there's enough other people
worrying about those.  These modules also have some unreleased changes,
but have had recent releases already, so I'm not worrying about them right
now:
 app/luit
 app/setxkbmap
 app/xauth
 app/xclock
 app/xdm
 app/xmag
 app/xrandr
 app/xset
 proto/renderproto
 proto/videoproto
 proto/x11proto
