For current X11 version, run 'xdpyinfo | pg' from an aixterm or xterm.
Top of the result will say something like:

name of display:    :0.0
version number:    11.0
vendor string:    International Business Machines
vendor release number:    5

That's X11R5.

For Motif version, as far as I know the simplest way is to run 'which
mwm' (should be in /usr/bin/X11), the ls -l /usr/bin/X11/mwm (or
whatever path you get from which) and you'll see where it's linked
from.  On my system, it's /usr/bin/X11r5/Motif1.2/mwm.

Watch out on AIX 4.3.x.  It defaults to X11R6, so you need to modify
some LIBPATH statements.
