I have been using /util/modular/build.sh since summer 2009 to build from
git. I think it has always been maintained. You can get the
util-modular package at the 7.4 level from here:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/modular/tag/?id=XORG-7_4. I think
it can build from tarballs, although I never tried it. If not, extract
the tarballs.

This script would give a you list of modules to check against. There are
a few build issues you may look at, 22611, 22616, 22675, 22823.

This should get you pretty close to where you want to be. I don't about
mesa/drm at that time frame, but check against the latest build.sh. 

The following modules are also required for 7.4. They are not X.Org
modules and not posted on the http://www.x.org/releases/, but are
available on the same git page.

pixman
mesa/drm
mesa/mesa
xcb/proto
xcb/libxcb
xcb/pthread-stubs
xcb/util
xkeyboard-config
