Hmm...I didn't reproduce that (10.9 with a fairly fresh Fink install). 
I get:

Fiona:.xinitrc.d hansen$ startx
font_cache: Scanning user font directories to generate X11 font caches
font_cache: Updating FC cache
font_cache: Done
unable to write 'random state'
xauth:  file /Users/hansen/.serverauth.92915 does not exist

/opt/X11/bin/xinit: XFree86_VT property unexpectedly has 0 items instead 
of 1


and X starts OK.

Are you using a $HOME/.xinitrc file to start amiwm?  If so, it's 
possible that you might not be getting some font information.

What I have is an executable $HOME/.xinitrc.d/94-amiwm.sh file which 
just has

. /sw/bin/init.sh
exec amiwm

as its contents.
