As I see it it doesn't come with a free X-Server. It comes with some 
xlib's but not with the server.
There's the Starnet and the Hummingbird X-Server for purchase.

 > Services for UNIX (SFU) comes with X11R5 and X11R6 utilities and 
libraries. SFU does not come with a X-server to display the graphical 
output of these X11 utilities. You can set your "DISPLAY" environment 
variable to the name of a machine on your network to display the X11 
utilities. If you would like to display X11 locally then you will need 
to purchase an X-server. There are several X-servers available. You 
should look for an X-server that will handle X11R6 (X11R6.6 is preferred 
since this is the best match). You can purchase an X-server from Interop 
Systems at "http://www.interopsystems.com/products.htm".
