Comment (by haberg-1):

 As for the DISPLAY issue, the items put in the X11 menu "Applications"
 work, so you might check what it uses. In addition, one must typically add
 LANG=en_US or LANG=en_US.UTF-8, because MacOS only has LC_CTYPE=UTF-8, and
 a number of Unix programs do not support this. I have checked on the
 UNIX/POSIX (Austin Group) standardization list that LC_CTYPE=UTF-8 is
 confirming. (Copy and paste do not work in this menu, so one has to write
 these complicated commands by hand.)

 The XQuartz app got broken so it did not help putting this in the menu,
 for example xboard ends up with French menus. (The program xboard can be
 run using the stockfish engine via polyglot, but some reason, these two
 latter programs are not in MacPorts.)
