Thanks Mark for that link - not sure how I managed to miss the main installation notes (one born every minute...) thanks all for your help and patience! I am now up and running - well, crawling, anyway ;) For the record, I didn't have X11 running and was trying to start denemo from Terminal.app (assumed X11 would get started up by denemo, kind of like double clicking a file to open in its default app) now with MacPorts paths imported into X11 and starting denemo from xterm all works perfectly.

Did you start denemo form Terminal.app or form an xterm ?
Because X11.app does not read the unix environment.

Thanks Jeff, I did indeed miss the X11 install (thought it was there, but should've checked) - however, it still threw the same message with X11 installed and the display environment variable set - perhaps I need to re-install denemo, or perhaps one/some of its dependencies?
If you want to have xterm to read the Unix environment, see section "Options for the MacPorts' shell and X11 environment" in InstallingMacPorts.
