I saw X being demoed at UniForum in January on a 386 at the Microport booth.
My understanding is that the Microport port of UNIX to the 386 and the
Interactive 386 UNIX are one and the same.  So obviously the port of X to this
version of UNIX has already been done, the code exists and is in the can
*somewhere*.  The hardware they were demoing was only EGA resolution, though
-- nothing close to Moniterm resolution.  I have no idea whether Microport
will sell X as a separate product.  I'm not really knowledgeable about X, but
my understanding is that X is either public domain or source is available from
MIT for mighty cheap; presumably some custom drivers are involved, and those
might be proprietary.

Try giving Microport a call.
