Cable Forum - View Single Post - Advice please - the UNIX X Windows Environment (specifically, X11 for Mac OS X)

Try using Fink. It allows easy installation of UNIX programs ported to Darwin/OS X. IIRC they have their own implementation of X11 that can run rootless (ie: the windows are interleaved with OS X windows). For more help you could try posting at the Mac forum at Ars Technica as there are a lot of posters there who know what's what with running X11 on OS X
