Right.  That's an init script.  That is only used once X11 starts.  It is not used to start X11.

It looks as though org.macports.startx is not loaded.  org.macports.startx should take precedence over org.x.startx.  You should have /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macports.startx.plist from MacPorts' xinit port.
