It won't be there until you add it.

You might find the following instructions from the updated
installation guide (written after 6.8.2 unfortunately) helpful:

The monolithic tree also includes copies of some packages maintained outside
the X.Org project for convenience in building on machines that do not already
have them installed.   These include FreeType 2, fontconfig, expat, xterm,
and zlib.   For most uses however, it is recommended that you install the
latest version directly from the main distribution site, or use the packages
provided in your operating system, as they are more likely to be up to date
with the latest bug fixes and security patches.   Depending on your platform,
use of the bundled versions may be enabled or disabled by default, check the
Imake configuration files for your platform in xc/config/cf to find out.  To
override the defaults for your platform or to set the path to the installa-
tion location, see the instructions below on configuring the source via
xorgsite.def and host.def.

If you do want to make configuration changes, it is recommended that you
start by going to the xc/config/cf directory, and copying the file
xorgsite.def to host.def.  Then read through the host.def file (which is
heavily commented), and set your configuration parameters. Usually you can
find the default settings by checking the .cf file(s) relevant to your OS.
