apt-get build-dep xorg-server
apt-get source xorg-server
# apply the patch as per http://code.google.com/p/savory/source/browse/trunk/x11-on-kindle/?r=12
./autogen.sh --prefix=/mnt/debian
make && make install
umount /mnt/debian
... but it still looks for a VT / tty.
I have unsuccessfully tried hacking /etc/inittab to provide a fake tty, of course this doesn't work
# can we use directfb? fbterm?
Probably I will need to flash the kernel as per yifanlu, recompiling it with with VT support. I think the options need to be (but I am not sure):
CONFIG_NO_USER_SPACE_SCREEN_ACCESS_CONTROL=y
# CONFIG_FB_EARLYSUSPEND is not set
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_CONSOLE_TRANSLATIONS=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION=y
# CONFIG_FB_MSM_LOGO is not set
Given VT support in the kernel, it may make more sense to run something like fbterm rather than X11.

There is a version of X now working in a basic fashion... FYI.
patch for the VT issue (to get X to boot at least) is here:
