If you haven't solved this problem, one possibility would be to 
get the xaw-wrappers Debian package, and then either:
    - use Lalo's deb of 1.7.2, 
or: - get CVS freeciv and build your own deb with the build.debian
      script (see INSTALL.debian from CVS).  
That should get the Xaw stuff right for you.
