X11 Unix squeak on B&W displays

Hi,
After a bit of work, I have NetBSD running on my old 68k powerbook.
Ian's Squeak-3.1beta-4478-src.tar.gz builds and runs just fine (well,
for carefully selected definitions of fine), as long as I send the
display to another system because NetBSD on my hardware only supports
B&W. I can see in sqXWindow.c in SetUpPixmap where the visual class
is checked and then errors when it is B&W.
How hard would it be to make X11 B&W displays work? Is this really
impossible, or, is it pretty easy (ie copy the code for PseudoColor
say). My X11 knowledge is somewhat less than 0 here though weighting
down my desk are three thick O'Reilly X11 books just waiting to be
read.
cheers

p.s. It's a mental illness :-)
