   Has anyone got X-windows running on a Pyramid?

Here's the article that got the job done for me:

Yes and Yes (Not that there was much to the "port").

This is what we did (but not in this order).

1) Apply the following patch to Login.h in clients/xdm.  The Pyramid
compiler objected to the lack of a semi-colon.  Don't think this was fixed
in fix1 or fix2 from MIT.

*** Login.h~	Fri Nov 18 11:37:30 1988
--- Login.h	Sat Nov 19 19:55:05 1988
***************
*** 73,79 ****
  #define NAME_LEN	32
  
  typedef struct _LoginData { 
! 	char	name[NAME_LEN], passwd[NAME_LEN] 
  } LoginData;
  
  # define NOTIFY_OK	0
--- 73,79 ----
  #define NAME_LEN	32
  
  typedef struct _LoginData { 
! 	char	name[NAME_LEN], passwd[NAME_LEN];
  } LoginData;
  
  # define NOTIFY_OK	0


2)  Add the following to Imake.tmpl

#ifdef pyr
#define MacroIncludeFile "Pyr.macros"
#define MacroFile Pyr.macros
#undef pyr
#define PyramidArchitecture
#endif /* pyr */

3)  Use the following as your Pyr.macros file (Yes it does look like a
cross between the Sun and Mips files).

-------- start of Pyr.macros -----------
/*
 * SET VERSION NUMBERS BEFORE MAKING MAKEFILES
 *
 * If you change either of the following numbers, you will need to do a 
 * full build (make World) at the top of the sources....
 */
#define PyrOSPlatform     YES		/* set to NO if not running SunOS */
#define OSName            OSx 4.0
#define OSMajorVersion    4
#define OSMinorVersion    0

-------- end of Pyr.macros -----------

Now follow the X11R3 installation guide.
I think thats all we did here.
