Yes, it does.  On the Extra disk (if you download the .isos), there is
a /pasture directory which contains (among other things) 3.3.6 X server
packages.  According to the README:


These are the X server packages from XFree86 3.3.6.  If you have a
video card that is not working under XFree86-4.1.x, you can try
installing the appropriate 3.3.6 server on top of your XFree86-4
installation to see if that gets it working.  All of these servers will
work fine with the newer libraries that are installed with
XFree86-4.1.0.
