Erm? You can configure it to update automatically, I think, but you may
need to find out how to manipulate the Sparkle-related parts of its
Info.plist. (/Applications/XQuartz.app/Contents/Info.plist or substitute
wherever it's installed). Although it will still not be completely
automatic because it runs the interactive Installer.app.
In any case, to enable MacPorts' xorg-server as the default X server,
disable any current X11 plists:
$ sudo launchctl unload
-w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macosforge.xquartz.privileged_startx.plist
$ launchctl unload
-w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macosforge.xquartz.startx.plist
(these won't be installed on ML)
$ sudo launchctl unload
-w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.x.privileged_startx.plist
$ launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.x.startx.plist
Then enable the ones installed by xorg-server, which should be something
like (I can't verify currently):
$ sudo launchctl load -w
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.privileged_startup.plist
$ launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macports.startx.plist
And log out and back in, or reboot (the LaunchAgent can only run properly
when launchd is setting up a new login).
