The problem was XQuartz 2.4.0.  After reinstalling the default 10.5.8 
combo update and thus the standard OSX X11 code, the test programs work.

The otool output after the change is:

/opt/local/bin/plot:
	/opt/local/lib/libplot.2.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0, current 
version 5.4.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libXaw.7.dylib (compatibility version 8.0.0, current 
version 8.0.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libXmu.6.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current 
version 9.0.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libXt.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current 
version 7.0.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libSM.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current 
version 7.1.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libICE.6.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current 
version 10.0.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libXext.6.dylib (compatibility version 11.0.0, current 
version 11.0.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libX11.6.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current 
version 10.0.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libXau.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current 
version 7.0.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libXdmcp.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current 
version 7.0.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libpng12.0.dylib (compatibility version 42.0.0, current 
version 42.0.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current 
version 1.2.3)
	/usr/lib/libmx.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 
292.4.0)
	/usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 
1.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current 
version 111.1.4)

It looks like there's no change, but obviously something changed somewhere.
