Comment (by haberg-1):

 I have found the problem, I think:

 There is a file .zprofile added by the MacPorts installer, with the
 contents below. It adds DISPLAY=:0, and then the automatic launch of the
 X11 app does not work. If I set
 export DISPLAY=/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.z8pZ6R48KZ/org.macports:0
 then 'eyes' will launch even if the X11 app is not open.

 If I move the .zprofile to another name, then it will set
 DISPLAY=/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.nDro5hTUYP/org.xquartz:0
 and the xeyes will not open regardless if X11 is open.

 I might add that I do no like the clandestine addition of .zprofile that
 the MacPorts installer makes, because I have the environment defined in
 .profile, which is then I call from .zshrc.

 - .zprofile
