Thank you very much William! 
Your hints were right, and my macports system is ok again. All 
+system_x11 variants (also the line in variants.conf) are deactivated 
and reinstalled. I used grep and awk to get a script to do so according 
your description.

I thank also Jeremy Huddleston to shed some light on the macports 
system. I use macports on Tiger 10.4.11 PPC, and if I gonna switch to 
leopard I'll try his propoasal to install macports with the Xquartz 
Server from apple. I think that is not an option for me with tiger.

xdvi etc. are working again, but xpdf gives new error messages (but no 
longer X related.):

I'm using X11.app from apple as an xserver, because startx doesn't work:

xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  no 
server "/opt/local/bin/X" in PATH

Is this as expected?

Thank you!

Kind regards
