You do not need an xserver, you should be able to talk to the existing one. In fact given time I'd investigate what the easy arm debian chroot is doing.
Good to know, thx! So the x86 x11 libraries that wine or x86-xterm call use the existing xserver on the n900?

Good luck. One thing I mean try try is touching a file before testing on a normal x86 system, then using find / -anewer /fileyoutouched
to create a list of files for a very minimal chroot.
My approach for creating a minimal chroot environment with i386 Ubuntu 8.04:
I use strace and call the x86 binary i want to run on the n900 and filter out all the "open" calls:
Code:
strace xterm 2>&1 | grep 'open("' | grep -o '"/.*",' | grep -o '[^"]*' | sort | uniq | grep -v "/dev" | grep -v "/proc" > list_xterm.txt
I add some more stuff to that list (i.e. output of dpkg -L xterm or /home/user/.wine) and create a tar with it. Hopefully i get a working minimal chroot environment out of this.
