I just copied that logic from dbus.  Feel free to patch xinit, and you might as well patch dbus as well ;)

I updated the dependencies of xorg-server (and bumped it).

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.
