MacPorts should provide binaries of the required ports (or at least you shouldn't have to do anything more for installing them from source (supposing you already have Xcode set up but your sig suggests that is already the case). > If someone ports X11 to new Mac ARM chips, would that make it easy to port > to iPad as well? A priori only if the same drivers can be used one way or another, and of course that port should benefit from any Apple/ARM specific performance improvements (and potential issues related to endianness, of course). But all that won't give you any more control over what you can install or not (or should I say, what the average user can install, who doesn't jailbreak, doesn't pay Apple a yearly fee or has a computing dept that takes care of such matters).
