http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/ says:

  Q.A6- What files do I need to upgrade to the latest release?
   
   Please read the README (or RELNOTES) file, in the directory        
   corresponding to your OS, on the XFree86 ftp site or one of its
   mirrors (see the previous question). It contains a list of the 
   filenames along with their contents. It also lists which files are
   required and which are optional.

ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.6/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc21/RELNOTES

section 10 contains this list (README does not), as well as installation
instructions.  

ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.6/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc21/FILES
might be useful if you have any optional stuff that you want to upgrade.
