XFree86 on osx was pretty good for me for a while
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/ (I think you either need the OSX
DVD to do the install, or get an Apple Dev account and download from their
dev site).

Also, if you just need some standard *nix stuff that's not in OS X, there's
DarwinPorts (http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/) and Fink
(http://fink.sourceforge.net/). The combination of all those got me through
about five months of working with my G5 at work before I said eff it and now
it dual boots with Ubuntu-PPC.
