If you mean the Tektronix 4014 emulation in xterm then you may not
really need to run an X11R4 server, all you may need to do is find a
machine that has the appropriate xterm (such as an AOS 4.3 BSD for the
RT) and run that with the xterm displaying on your X server. You can
then rlogin back onto your machine to run the application that generates
Tektronix 4014 output. If this is easy for you to try it is probably 
worth giving it a try as otherwise if you can't find an existing X11R4
you might have some work to do porting X11R4.

PS: the X11R3 version of xterm appears to support the 4014 mode 
(at least according to the man page) - are you sure you need X11R4
after all?
