Try using "rpm -Uvh --forcepkgs --nodeps XFree86-3.3.3.1-37a.ppc.rpm".
It's just whining about something, which RPM is adept at doing.

You just have to know where to look. :-)
Seriously, there are tons of websites out there where you can get info.
One of the better ones is at
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~jonh/lppc-serve/cache/1.html, the so-called
FAQ-O-Matic (remember that, in effect, Linux is Linux is Linux, so most
of the time tips for, say, MkLinux will work with YDL). My own website
also has some information and links, though not anything about X servers
in particular.
Also, try looking around the web by starting at
http://www.linuxnewbies.org/ and so on.
