Ok, sorry.  I solved my problem drawing on Ryan's answer to a comparable
problem:

http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-November/006987

I had installed xorg-libX11, then uninstalled it and replaced it with Apples
X11user.app and X11SDK.app, but in the meantime xaw3d was built on the
former.  So I had to rebuild xaw3d based on the Apple version rather than
xorg.

Thanks.
