I've been spending some time these past few weeks updating the x.org ports in Macports as well as pushing patches to get the latest X.org bits building on Tiger. I'm proud to announce that the latest Xquartz code can now be built using macports (even on Tiger!!!).
To test this out, just do:
port install xorg-server # if you don't get version 1.4.2_apple27_2, resync in a bit and try again
then you can run the resulting /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app
For now, you will still need your existing X11 installation (there are no xorg font packages in portage yet, so I'm using fonts out of ${x11prefix}), but I hope to start adding font packages in the near future to eliminate this dependency.
Notes / Cavaets: If you're on Tiger, you should disable the pasteboard proxying in X11->Preferences->Clipboard or xpbproxy and quartz-wm will fight with each other. If you're on Leopard, I recommend you install Xquartz-2.3.2_rc3 or later first in order to get the latest quartz-wm (otherwise, you'll be in the same boat as the Tiger folks with the outdated quartz-wm).
That's cool. Good work, Jeremy! ~ Nathan
