Hi Geoffrey,

The freeciv FAQ is actually a bit out of date regarding Xaw and 
Xaw3d; as of freeciv 1.7.2, you should be able to configure freeciv 
to work properly with Xaw3d simply by doing 
  ./configure --with-xaw3d
(And then make, as usual.)  Try that.  
(I think this is discussed in the INSTALL file for 1.7.2 ?)

You can get the GTK+ version from
