No, I did not rebooted. Is rebooting required, such that X be able to handle the new indirectly-changed hostname?

maybe? X11 is dumb ... I would try it (or at least stop and re-start X).

What should one do if, say, a spelling error in the Computer Name (and therefore in the hostname) has been discovered after numerous MacPorts have been built (including ports such as X)? How many other ports, I wonder, are built and configured by incorporating the Computer Name and/or indirectly the hostname, which is subject to change?

I don't know of other ports that care about your hostname.

NetInfo did/used to care but I imagine that using the GUI to change the Computer Name takes care of that for you.
