update (in case of interest to anyone):
after
* forcibly uninstalling gnuplot
* port selfupdate
* port upgrade outdated # which pulled in gnuplot as a dependency of maxima
x11 and wxt did still not work at the same time.
after another forced uninstall of gnuplot and subsequent
port install gnuplot +wxwidgets +x11
sane behaviour was restored. previously (prior to uninstalling gnuplot) the above command did *not*
trigger recompilation of gnuplot (and did not make wxt and x11 terminals available at the same
time), now it did.
I think there is some minor problem present in handling of this package?
anyway: now works again.

Terminal type is now x11
I just tried and both x11 and wxt are working properly
gnuplot> set term wxt
Terminal type is now 'wxt'
Options are '0 enhanced'

I tried a simple plot sin(x) in both terminals and it came out properly. What
is the error that you get?
This is the version installed on my Mac (M1, Sequoia):
port installed | grep gnuplot
gnuplot @6.0.2_0+aquaterm+luaterm+pangocairo+qt5+wxwidgets+x11 (active)
But, digging in my memory, I had once installed gnuplot forgetting to add the
+x11 option, and added that option in a later installation. Not sure if it was
on my computer, where I just made the check, and not sure if this two-steps
installation could make a difference...

after upgrade to gnuplot 6.0.2 it does no longer provide the "wxt" terminal together with
"x11" as was previously the case.
sudo port install gnuplot +wxwidgets +x11
does not help either. it seems currently one can either have the "wxt" terminal or
"x11" but not both. am I overlooking something?
thx
