Look in /Library/Receipts. If you have both X11User.pkg and  
X11SDK.pkg you're all set. If not, install whichever is not there.  
X11User.pkg is on the Mac OS X DVD (for 10.4.x) or downloadable from  
Apple Software Updates online (for 10.3.x only). X11SDK.pkg is in the  
Xcode disk image available from the Apple Developer Connection  
online. Use the latest Xcode (2.4.1 for 10.4.x; 1.5 for 10.3.x).

That is confusing... perhaps it's trying to say that you have  
X11SDK.pkg installed but not X11User.pkg.
