Note that the version of Xquartz from [2]www.xquartz.com is in fact

the xorg-server port) going forward.
That's going to prove interesting for those of us using MacTeX: its
copy of gs-X11 seems to request and require libraries in /opt/X11 at
runtime, not just at setup. (In our setups, /usr/local/bin comes
before /opt/local/bin, for reasons I can be tedious about on request,
so MacTeX's gs preempts MacPorts's.)
well, the easy solution is to use macPorts provided TexLive ports.. These are
built against MacPorts X11 dependencies….
Except where they're in TeXLive and not in MacPorts, or not on the
MacPorts build server and take a while to build.
