For clarity, the "original Tiger X11" is XQuartz, just a very old version of it.
Just run /Applications/Utilities/X11.app or /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app
depending on which version you want.

If you want to use the MacPorts libraries, use /opt/local/{include,lib}. If
you want to use the system libraries, use /usr/X11R6/{include,lib}. How you
set that up in your code depends on your build system.

Not really, but I guess a good rule of thumb is to not mix your linkage (ie,
don't link some things from one and some from the other).
