This morning, I installed qalculate on my MacOSX system.
High Sierra, MacPorts up-to-date, version 2.4.2.
When I try to launch qalculate, I get the following error...
~ $ qalculate-gtk
(qalculate-gtk:1638): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display
I played around with the DISPLAY environment variables as well as
installing the mac port, xorg-server. However, the only thing that worked
was installing XQartz and then launching qalculate from its terminal
program.
This is not an ideal solution since the graphics of the app are very poor.
Is there another solution that would allow qalculate to open with Mac
graphic quality?
I haven't tried it myself, but qalculate is a gtk3 app, so if the gtk3
port is installed with +quartz rather than +x11 it should display in the
native window environment.

This is what I do (gtk3 +quartz). It takes a bit of effort, though, to
ensure that all of the relevant gtk3 deps are also +quartz. If already
installed as +x11, it takes a bit of manual intervention. Also, you
probably want the adwaita-icon-theme.
Still, qalculate-gtk should look OK with X11, but I have not tested it
recently. Using xorg-server works for other x11 ports on my computer,
e.g., xlogo.
