I just did some limited testing with current CVS and xsane- 0.996 and had
success.  Note: I found an additional typo in sane-config and just submitted
a fix to CVS.  You'll want to update again.

Your error message above is because xsane can not find the "sane-config" of
your CVS sane-backends.  Step I did are similar to following:

cd sane-backend
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/sane
make; make install

export PATH=/usr/local/sane/bin:$PATH
cd /path/to/src/xsane-0.996
cd src
vi xsane-backend-gtk.c
<comment out all of if(SANE_CAPS_ALWAYS_SETTABLE) at lines 2615-2618 as its
not documented by SANE1 API and not in current CVS... It was in sane-1.0.19
for what ever reasons but only used by qcam and v4l  backends. I'm sure
you'll not notice reduced functionality.>
cd ..
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/xsane LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/sane/lib
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/sane/include
make; make install

/usr/local/xsane/bin/xsane
