Yeah, could use some variants I guess, but it would probably be silly to go
around adding variants etc to so many ports...

I guess my experience was just that I didn't know why things were not
working.  The ports didn't tell me they needed an X server, so I didn't
realize I didn't have one.

Could almost be something in macports base.... "It doesn't look like you
have an X11 server installed, to run X11 programs locally, please install
xorg-server, or xquartz."  Or something along those lines.  Just thinking
out loud here.

Anyway, no big deal, thanks for the help!
