 >  installing xorg-server is automatically setting $DISPLAY to their
 server, even when I disable their LaunchAgent as per the FAQ

 What do you mean "installing xorg-server is automatically setting $DISPLAY
 to their server" ... that is not true.

 What do you mean "their LaunchAgent as per the FAQ"?  I maintain XQuartz,
 xorg in MacPorts, and the XQuartz DDX for X.org, and I'm pretty certain
 that we (X.org) don't have a FAQ for XQuartz.  There is no X.org FAQ which
 talks about LaunchAgents that I am aware of.

 > is have my $DISPLAY to be the Macports version of X11 since the other
 important piece of software I'm using is on Macports

 Then follow the instructions printed by the xinit port for how to do that
 and disable the other LaunchAgents.
