In my experience, on MacOSX >= 10.6, you don't need to install xquartz 
unless you have special needs for the very latest version. In fact, the 
"stock" X11 *is* xquartz, just not quite the latest. MacOSX was a 
special case; for some reason or other, Apple was unable to ship a 
decent version of X11 with the OS. Despite several updates, they never 
got their act together. But they sponsored xquartz, and from 10.6 
onwards, they managed to ship correct versions with the OS.
