I'd like a "real" mac-os xterm running, akin to opening an X11 window. 
So, a VM/Container is not going to work.

I think that XQuartz is the X-server for MacPorts X11.app.  That "full 
screen" mode takes over the entire display (hiding all other Mac 
applications).  I would like to have that X display within a Mac Window.

I currently use a VNC server on a debian machine, and a VNC client on my 
Mac.  I am trying to configure my Mac to run the Xserver/VNC server so 
that I don't need to remote-connect to my Linux host.
