Comment (by kencu):

 if you try to run {{{hexchat}}} you get something like this:
 {{{
  % hexchat

 (hexchat:59962): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:26:45.348: cannot open display:
 }}}

 This software requires an X11 server to display it's windows and UI. You
 can install MacPorts' version like this (recommended):
 {{{
 % sudo port -v -N install xorg-server
 }}}

 or install XQuartz from their website and use that instead (don't try to
 use both -- nightmare scenario).

 then you have to logout and log back in again for the launch scripts to
 activate. and then it will (should) work.
