Yeah, there seems to be some problem when some libs link against the  
Tiger X11 libs and others link against ones from Macports... I started  
a thread about this in macports-dev yesterday...

My advice to you is to stick entirely with macports xorg-* ports or  
the system /usr/X11R6 libs and not mix the two until we figure this out.
