How do I cause standalone X11 apps to use MacPorts X11?

The dialog does not come from the application but from the system-provided X11.app (this is observable by Dock/menu bar) which is a nonfunctional stub (this is what my research says).

It sounds like the assumption is that when you install third-party X11 as instructed by the dialog, it will _replace_ the system-provided X11. But MacPorts doesn't replace system files as a rule -- I'm looking for a solution which fits into MacPorts's way of working.
