Jeremy,
This really looks like an Xquartz bug rather than an issue with molmol itself. I did a test build
of molmol of under x86_64 Fedora 15 and it doesn't have any problems executing...
$MOLMOLHOME/molmol.$arch $xopt < /dev/null
under libX11-devel-1.4.3, xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.3, etc. The build of molmol under linux is
pretty much identical to that under darwin.

ps The fact that this issue occurs on Lion when running molomol from a fink /sw tree built under
SL (as well as fresh bootstrap of fink or macports under Lion) suggests that the problem is in
the xorg libraries or xserver.
