I've installed scribus yesterday:

sudo port install scribus

$ scribus

It doesn't start and it returns the message:

scribus: cannot connect to X server

I've tried to run it with x11 server on and off (I launch it trough Gimpshop) But it doesn't work either way.

I'm using an Intel Mac with OS 10.4.7.

Try first opening X11.app (in Applications > Utilities) and then type "scribus" into *that* xterm window, not in a regular Mac OS X Terminal window.
