The X.org wiki contains several introductory pages. I would
suggest to start with:
http://www.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide
http://www.x.org/wiki/Development
Some documentation may be out of date or simply incorrect. If you
find an error, please get a wiki account and fix it so whoever
comes after you will find better documentation.
The first step to start working on X would be to succeed in
rebuilding the modular tree, including the X server.
You should get somewhat familiar with the auto{conf,make}.
Then, it all depends on what your interests are. Feel free
to ask more specific questions when you're done with the above
steps.
