Comment(by jeremyhu at freedesktop.org):

 Isn't the policy that Macports uses its own libraries unless those
 libraries are supplied by OSX?  We've had issues reported to the x11-users
 mailing list multiple times over the past year while I've been maintaining
 X11, and frequently it comes down to their using a Macports lib over one
 included with X11.

 Based on your earlier comment, I'm guessing this is partly due to lack of
 maintainers.  I just now tried to pull in some X11 packages and they fail
 because of the xmkmf removal and the old version of autoconf used to build
 configure in the package (those packages just need you to 'reautoconf' or
 pass '--x-include=/usr/X11/include --x-lib=/usr/X11/lib' to configure.
 I'd be willing to help out with some of these packages if maintainership
 is the issue...
