Official X11 for Leopard is on your install DVD (run System Update  
afterward).
Unofficial, but with updates and bugfixes:  http://xquartz.macosforge.net

X11 should have been installed by default on Leopard, actually, but  
without the XQuartz update it won't auto-run; you'll find X11.app in / 
Applications/Utilities.
