XQuartz 2.8.0 comes without any X client. And when you want to launch Xterm from MacPorts or any other source via ~/.xinitrc then it seems to be necessary to either set PATH in that shell script or use at least the complete path name of the X client.

I've put

	echo "$X11_PREFS_DOMAIN" > ~/X11-prefs-domain
	echo "$PATH" >> ~/X11-prefs-domain

into my .xinitrc to check…
