I came up with a crude method: I made copies of .xinitrc for X11.app and XDarwin.app, and then shell scripts to copy the appropriate version to be .xinitrc and run the relevant program:
[ldx3:~] hansen% cat startxapple.csh exec cp .xinitrc.apple .xinitrc & exec /sw/bin/launch /Applications/X11.app & [ldx3:~] hansen% cat startxdarwin.csh exec cp .xinitrc.xdarwin .xinitrc & exec /sw/bin/launch /Applications/XDarwin.app & (I'm not sure whether /usr/bin/open can replace /sw/bin/launch or not). This works, but isn't as simple as being able to click either Mac icon and use a conditional .xinitrc to launch the right stuff.
