Sure about that? From the XFree86 3.3 documentation:

XFree86 is a port of X11R6.3 that supports several Unix and Unix-like
operating systems on Intel and other platforms. This release consists
of new features and performance improvements as well as many bug
fixes. The release is available as source patches against the X
Consortium X11R6.3 code, as well as binary distributions for many
architectures.

I'm not sure about Broadway in either the R6.3 or R7 context. XFree86 3.3
definitely is R6.3 though.
