Comment (by kencu):

 MacPorts `xorg-server` and `XQuartz` are pretty much the same thing -- the
 XQuartz developer uses MacPorts to build it. So we're pretty close here.

 You should be pretty close to functional if you
 {{{
 sudo port -v install xorg-server
 }}}
 That runs on every single macOS system from Tiger PPC right on up to the
 most current versions.

 Once you have it installed, logout and log back into your account. That
 helps set things up correctly.

 Then, in /Applications/MacPorts/ run X11.app by double clicking on it.

 You should see menus, and be able to open an Xwindows terminal (xterm)
 from there.

 If that doesn't work for you, please try running it from the command line
 in a Terminal window, like this:
 {{{
 /opt/local/bin/Xquartz
 }}}

 Please report back success or failure.
