Yves, I did have X11 installed by macports as a dependency now I come to think of it, and there was even a message regarding that and the apple installed X11, which I didn't have time to read in the output (at that point I didn't know it would be significant, and at some point I cleared the scrollback) - but that seems to suggest that the macports install doesn't work automatically even if you don't have the apple version installed - perhaps that was what the message was about - if so, sorry for involving the list, looks like I should have been able to work that bit out on my own.
The usual behavior is for MacPorts to use Apple's X11 if you have installed both X11User.pkg and X11SDK.pkg, and otherwise to install XFree86. You can only install and use one of Apple's X11 or XFree86 at a time. I recommend you use only Apple's X11.
