This cannot be true. When I try the same as /Applications/MacPorts/ 
X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 does and invoke

	exec -l /bin/tcsh -c 'echo $path'

in bash instead of

	exec -l /bin/tcsh -c 'exec $argv:q' /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app/ 
Contents/MacOS/X11.bin

I get:

	/Users/pete/bin /sw/lib/freetype219/bin /sw/lib/fontconfig2/bin /usr/ 
local/bin /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/bin /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/ 
universal-darwin /usr/bin /bin /usr/X11/bin /sw/bin /sw/lib/coreutils/ 
bin /Developer/Tools /Users/pete/bin/FDK/Tools/osx

This is not the same that is seen by GNU Emacs or inside the  
~/.xinitrc script. It is the path that I set.
