I am saying you do the first part just to clear the existing autostart
stuff that isn't working. Then, reinstalling (you don't need to uninstall
first) the one you want to autostart will reinstall just its autostart
stuff.

If you specifically want MacPorts' xorg to autostart, then this is

    sudo port deactivate xinit; sudo port activate xinit
