I do the same myself. The problem is that the partial build relies on
some headers and libs from XFree86/Xorg being installed in ProjectRoot
before the build. Try this (assuming ProjectRoot is set
to /usr/X11R6-XORG):

cd /usr
mkdir X11R6-XORG
cd X11R6-XORG
mkdir include lib
lndir ../X11R6/include include
lndir ../X11R6/lib lib
rm -rf lib/modules

(The last line may be necessary to avoid conflicts between old and new
modules. Make sure that you don't run this in the wrong directory.)

After that run make World in your Xorg source tree.

Mvh,
  Felix
