Almost certainly not.  From the Mac App Store Review Guidelines 
<https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/mac/#functionality 
<https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/mac/#functionality>>:

"2.24   Apps that use deprecated or optionally installed technologies (e.g., 
Java, Rosetta) will be rejected"

XQuartz is optionally installed.


It may be possible to build an app that was itself an X server — basically, a 
modified build of XQuartz itself — that launched the X client program to run 
against that built-in server.  Getting the X server working in the sandbox may 
be difficult.  Enabling the client to connect to the server via Unix domain 
socket will require some special handling, since sandboxed apps have tight 
restrictions on connecting to Unix domain sockets.  Etc.

Ken
