Robert's Objective-C program further qualifies those ports by using
"Xquartz" as the program name, and dp dropped me a note pointing out
that modern Macs may have multiple IP addresses, particularly with
Parallels or Fusion installed.  So here's an updated script:

#!/bin/sh

MYPORT=`lsof -i tcp:6000-6040 | grep "Xquartz.*${USER}.*IPv4.*(LISTEN)" | awk '{print substr($9, 3) - 6000}'`
MYIP=`ifconfig -a | grep 'inet.*broadcast' | head -1 | awk '{print $2}'`
echo ${MYIP}:${MYPORT}
