hhmm, I've tested this on my iMac 20" and on my MacBook 13.3".  
Although the iMac has a physical display resolution of ~ 98 dpi and  
the MacBook 113 dpi, setting "-dpi 96" in startx gives me the same  
font sizes, compared to non-X11 apps.

Somehow it seems to me, that the internal resolution X11 uses, is 96  
dpi, regardless of the physical display resolution. But maybe Jeremy  
could tell us more about this issue.
