You can run XFree86 2.1 under NetBSD, if you're willing to install it
on your local disk. Just FTP the tar files from ftp.xfree86.org,
install them (they'll go into /usr/X386), make /usr/X11 a symlink to
/usr/X386 instead of /usr/X11R6, and then add something like:
ldconfig /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/X386/lib
to the end of your /etc/rc.local (after the call to
/etc/athena/rc.athena).
You'll be able to run all of the X programs built for 3.1 using a 2.1
X server as long as the system can find the shared libraries for 3.1,
which is what the ldconfig line is for.
Incidentally, you probably can share swap space between Windows and
NetBSD by editing the disklabel of your NetBSD partition. I didn't
think of this when you asked.
