Comment:

 I was able to reproduce this using the Apple supplied X11.app on Snow
 Leopard.  Referring to the Console
 log shows that the failure involves not being able connect to the session
 dbus.  I'm guessing that this
 is due to the fact that gnome-terminal is being launched from the
 X11.app's environment which may not
 define DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET properly.

 Using the MacPorts xorg-server port instead, gnome-terminal launches
 properly so I assume the problem
 is, in fact, specific to the Apple supplied X11.app and nothing to do with
 MacPorts.

 Suggest you try the xorg-server port.  If you continue to have problems
 with that, feel free to reopen.
