When an application tries to use an X11 server, it uses the DISPLAY
variable from the environment to find it. Usually it is set to a socket
which is controlled by launchd to run X11.app on-demand. So you should
unload any other X11 server installation than MacPorts' X11.

Unload Apple's X11 and Xquartz (if it exists):

# (Leopard / Snow Leopard X11.app)
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.x.startx.plist
# (Snow Leopard XQuartz.app)
sudo launchctl unload -w
/Library/LaunchAgents/org.macosforge.xquartz.startx.plist

Load MacPorts' X11:
# (Snow Leopard MacPorts)
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/orhis is should be
used.g.macports.startx.plist

You will need to logout and login again to get the new DISPLAY variable
in the environment.
