Actually, I think my previous analysis was wrong.  My guess now is that you don't actually have a custom ~/.xinitrc.d script for twm, but instead teh default xinitrc is trying twm because it can't find a quartz-wm.  Please install the quartz-wm port, and I think it should work.  I'll update the dependencies.

But now X11 will crash on launch and continually try to relaunch but it never actually launches without crashing. I tried uninstalling xinit and xorg-server and reinstalling them. I re-ran:
