Unfortunately, the -broadcast flag still does not work. The X server
sends the XDMCP queries to its own IP address instead of using the
networks broadcast address.
I can't reproduce it here. But there are 2 things that may influence
that :
1. I'm using '#define HasGetIfAddrs YES' in darwin.cf (This should
   probably be the default, but I forgot about it until now), it
   changes the way network interfaces addresses are collected.
I did that change manually and broadcasts now work fine. but...

2. I've just commited a fix for a stupid typo in Xserver/os/access.c
   that was causing localhost addresses to be advertized by error in
   the 'Request' message.
I am not able to retrieve this version of access.c. Here is what I get 
on cvs log access.c:

IRIX build and warning fixes
I have seen 127.0.0.1 included in the XDMCP request datagrams using 
tcpdump. I also realize, that the GetIfAddrs does not include the IPv6 
addresses anymore. So it would solve my initial problem, too, but would 
leave a compatibility problem in the XDMCP code. I suspect, this not 
really is a fix and an additional bug in the GetIfAddrs code has lead 
to the IPv6 addresses being left out. It would be great if I could test 
DefineSelf() using a small stand alone application.
