Likewise:

pro:~ tgl$ ls -la /tmp/.X11-unix
total 0
drwxrwxrwt   5 root  wheel  170 Jul 10 22:37 .
drwxrwxrwt  25 root  wheel  850 Jul 14 09:23 ..
srwxrwxrwx   1 tgl   wheel    0 Jun 16 00:07 X0
srwxrwxrwx   1 tgl   wheel    0 Jul  1 23:48 X1
srwxrwxrwx   1 tgl   wheel    0 Jul 10 22:38 X2

X2 was evidently created when I quit 2.5.1_rc2 and updated to 2.5.1.
The timestamp of the X1 file is consistent with the idea that it was
created when upgrading to rc2 from rc1.  I don't recall having restarted
X11 anytime recently except for the upgrades.

ps shows that the server is just doing what it was told:
