In my config/cf/host.def file, I have:

#define ProjectRoot                     /home/keithp/X11/Xorg
#define NothingOutsideProjectRoot       YES

This *should* work, although xprint has some nagging problems (which only 
encouraged me to also add #define BuildXprint NO...)

Then use LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/keithp/X11/Xorg/lib and apps run fine.
