Hmm... Myself, I built the drivers the other way... by moving them into 
an XFree86 source tree and then building all of XFree86.

'man xmkmf' says this:

Sounds like you need the source tree.  You should be able to get that by 
installing the appropriate .src.rpm; I'd guess the source will then be 
somewhere under /usr/src.  Or, if YDL doesn't supply the XFree86 version 
you need, you could download the source and install it whereever you 
want.  See http://www.xfree86.org/MIRRORS.shtml.
