Just edit the existing Portfile and change 1.4.2-apple32 to 1.4.2- 
apple18.  The sources are in the same spot (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/src 
).

cd /path/to/ports/x11/xorg-server
sudo port -v -f uninstall # to remove the existing version
nano -w Portfile # change the version
sudo port -v install # it will complain about the checksums and give  
you the new ones to copy/paste into the Portfile
nano -w Portfile # replace the checksums
sudo port -v install
