I think this makes sense, at least if the OSes mentioned above will support XCB in the long run, too. Or do they already have support right now? It would be good to know that...
Certainly Linux and Solaris use X.org. I can't remember if one or two of the BSDs still use XFree86 but the rest have moved to X.org. I have no idea about AIX or HP-UX.
HP-UX is dying fast. Anyway, a direct implementation of an X client library (an 'XHB', as Sven suggested, generated from XCB's language independent protocol description) would make these questions irrelevant. Ben
