I did something pretty similar, although I don't remember the exact
process. Basically, I checked out xf4vnc at about the time xserver-1.4
was released and ran cvsps on it. By looking at the logs, I was able
to determine the approximate xserver commit this was at (265a633). I
then diffed repeatedly, adding commits from xserver that were
overlooked and removing a few minor changes like the configure
defaults. Here's the patch I'm using:

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~dnicholson/patches/xorg-server-1.4-vnc.patch

It applies against 1.4, but I haven't done anything since 1.4 was
released. I'm disabling dmx, too, which seems to have had quite a bit
of work applied to it in xf4vnc. I don't use it, though.

I should mention that I don't use libvnc.so, but just Xvnc. I'd be
interested to see how it stacks up to the patch you generated, though.
