 A variant mute_fake_xauth has been created to remove the "Warning: No
 xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding." message.
 This warning is due to the fact that the socket has been created by
 launchd.
 If you use the "original" xauth binary (/usr/X11/bin/xauth) of OSX, the
 xauth list can connect to the socket that launchd has been created and
 return the good information for X11 forwarding.
 So the best is perhaps not using the macport xauth binary but instead use
 the original xauth binary of OSX. You only need to change the --with-
 xauth=${prefix}/bin/xauth configure flag with --with-
 xauth=/usr/bin/X11/xauth. In this case you can also remove the dependency
 of xauth
