You need both X11User.pkg and X11SDK.pkg. Depending on your version  
of Mac OS X, these are found in different places.

For Leopard: X11User is already installed. Install Xcode 3 to get  
X11SDK.

For Tiger: X11User is an optional install on your Mac OS X DVD. After  
you do that, install X11SDK from the Xcode 2.5 disk image downloaded  
from Apple Developer Connection.

For Panther: X11User is available from Apple Support Downloads. After  
that's installed, install the X11SDK from the Xcode 1.5 disk image  
downloaded from Apple Developer Connection.

Once X11User and X11SDK are installed, ports that claim to depend on  
XFree86 will make use of Apple X11 instead of using XFree86.
