i think in every open interview they've had, they say 'soon'. so it could mean something or nothing at all.
until they actually post something on their official website, i don't think anyone can confirm it. 2012 is a long way off to predict anything with CLAMP.
"Very soon" means nothing in CLAMP's world. It's like saying, "well, no, we're still looking for a popular enough magazine to carry it."
I could be wrong (and if I am, please to be correcting the date/exact words), but the same thing was done with Tokyopop concerning Legal Drug and its continuation, and they went along the lines of, "Oh but CLAMP said it'll carry on very soon!" And this was in... 2008, I think, during a con. So yes, "soon" goes hand in hand with CLAMP and it always means nothing at all.
Well, i think, mostly the issue with X, is that CLAMP has actually pretty much the last chapters ready. As in, drawn-ready. /as it was said in an interview. And it is really weird, considering how popular X is, that no magazine would not want it serialized. Idk what CLAMP might has in mind since i believe, if they really wanted for it to be serialize/published, they would have done so. Honestly, idk.
But how popular is X within Japan really? Popular CLAMP series are things like Tsubasa and Chobits with a lot of merchandise and promotion. X always struck me as their own indulgant personal project that only had a core of niche fans, but was not widely popular. It's a hard series to categorize - technically shoujo since it ran in Asuka, but it's got more violence in it than most shounen series. Nevermind we don't know what the contract they had with Asuka was like and how much time is going to be needed for the series to be free to be published elsewhere. There were all sorts of issues involved when Minekura Kazuya jumped publishers with Saiyuki.
CLAMP started as a doujinshi circle, it's always been my very whacked out dream that they just go ahead and self-publish the end of X in doujinshi form. Totally never going to happen, of course.
Popular enough to be able to serialized somewhere at least. I doubt, that any kind of contract, would chain X that much, so it cannot get published somewhere else or something.

They also made an agenda and they put in it the first chapter of the last volume but I don't know if I can be hopeful about this...
