Don't do that!  Use ~/.xinitrc.d scripts

> On the first run of XQuartz (or if the plist is deleted) XQuartz throws a warning dialog asking if the .xinitrc file should be moved aside. Is there a way I can suppress this warning dialog? Is there a 'defaults write' command I can execute in the installer to take care of this?

It is there for a reason.  Yes, you can suppress it with NSDefaults, but that is not the right thing to do.  You should be using a ~/.xinitrc.d script.
