For Mac OS X 10.4:

X11User.pkg should be here:

http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/x11update2006113.html

It says it requires an existing X11 install, so you may have to  
install X11User.pkg from your Mac OS X 10.4 install DVD/CD first. Or  
it may be ok with what you have on your hard drive now.

X11SDK.pkg is part of Xcode 2.4.1 which you download from Apple  
Developer Connection.


For Mac OS X 10.3:

X11User.pkg is here:

http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/x11formacosx.html

Xcode 1.5 is the last version that works with Mac OS X 10.3 and  
X11SDK.pkg should be a part of that.
