X11 app - unable to open display ""

[macports at raf.org]

Hi,

  $ port search xorg-server
  xorg-server @1.20.4 (x11, devel)
      The X.org / Xquartz X server.

  xorg-server-devel @1.20.4 (x11, devel)
      The X.org / Xquartz X server.

  Found 2 ports.

Is the xorg-server-devel package needed to compile X11 software
(e.g. if I wanted to configure and compile my own gvim)?
Both ports say (x11, devel).

cheers,
raf
