There is absolutely NOTHING in XQuartz that should be doing that.  Do you have the exact text of the request (you can probably take a screen shot with cmd-shift-4).

mkdir ~/.xinitrc.d

#!/bin/bash
if [[ \"\$(uname -s)\" == "Darwin" ]] ; then
    echo 'keycode 66 = Alt_L'
    echo 'keycode 69 = Alt_R'

    echo 'keycode 115 = Meta_L'
    echo 'keycode 116 = Meta_R'

EOF
chmod 755 ~/.xinitrc.d/10-xmodmap_prep.sh

There, you need org.x.X11 instead.

It's not the NFS server that matters.  It's the client side that matters.  The system that you are running your X11 application on needs to have libXau 1.0.4
