Hi Ryan, thank you for diggin in this issue!

That's the probnlem I guess. I installed macports following the wiki
guide and therefore installed the Apple x11 server.
But now the preferred way to install x11 apps is xorg-server, because
apples xserver is a bit outdated, right? As I understand some
application doesn't build no more against the apple x11 in ppc. Maybe
like I experienced with xpdf.

Yes I think everything is installed, but in the wrong path (apple x11
path).

This didn't worked for me, because of the lack of e.g. x11 and xext and
so on. They were installed, but port didn't find them during
configuration of the packages.

/opt/local/lib/libX11.6.dylib isn't there as expected, but
under /usr/X11R6/.

No, port itself or the configured package meant that, not me. But
because of these errormessages I tried that nevertheless.
Here a translated Message with additional Informations I wrote in a
german mac forum (without any answer):
In the first place I setup the xserver from apple, and had build
successfully a working macports x11 environment.
Then I tried to install and run xpdf. It installed fine but didn't run.
I think I confused the installation by following the workaround to add
+system_x11 to the variants.conf. I guess port searches now in the
wrong path and messed up some dependencies.
How can I switch in this situation successfuly to xorg-server and use
it over apples x11?
The apple xserver under Tiger is a bit outdated isn't it?Some apps won't
compile against the apple x11 under PPC.

"Yes, this is expected behaviour. X had historically been an exception
to
the "MacPorts uses its own stuff" rule, for various reasons. Those
reasons no longer apply, so the exception is gone.
If you really want the old behaviour back, you can use the +system_x11
variant (best to add it to variants.conf)."
I'm afraid, that it wasn't that good to follow that workaround...

If I try to upgrade outdated I get this:
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/111319/
The programs and configure scripts are searching X
in /opt/local/bin/X, /opt/local but it resides (apples) in /usr/X11R6/
How can I adjust this, and fix my ports installation to use the newest
xorg-server?
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards
Gerhard
