X is the obvious and the fastest solution in this case.
We do not actively support X11 on OS X. A patch once existed that worked well according to those who used it. In general though, this should not be too difficult to achieve. The Apple Quickdraw and Quartz code is separated from the rest by defining __APPLE_QD__ and __APPLE_QUARTZ__ respectively, which in turn are based on the gcc predefined variable __APPLE__. Now if you find the right mix between these three and USE_X11, you should be able to compile just fine. I am sorry that I can't give you a point-and-click solution here, but this is a rarely requested feature.
