Comment (by kencu):

 Alternatively, and on newer machines probably better, you can use the
 "+quartz" UI instead, which is more Mac-like, but slightly less
 compatible.

 To use that, all GTK and X11 software has to be installed as "+quartz".

 So you could do something like this:
 {{{
 sudo port -f deactivate active
 sudo port -v -N install hexchat +quartz
 }}}

 and then hexchat will work without an X11 server. You can then reactivate
 / install any other software you want to install.

 To make sure things get installed the right way all the time, even if you
 forget, you can add:
 {{{
 +quartz
 }}}

 to your {{{variants.conf}}} file in {{{${prefix}/etc/macports}}}
