It's also rumored that software that expects to handle Unix signals
gets bogus signal contexts under Rosetta, so if your software expects
to setup signal handlers and get access to registers and what not
from a signal context this won't work. Not that this has anything to
do with X11, of course.

As was pointed out earlier, it is trivial to compile UNIX libraries
and command-line tools as Universal, so everything "should" work.
If it is open source, the best solution is to simply compile it
Universal (or at least Intel-native). Unless it has a really hairy
build system (e.g., like KDE or OpenOffice), it shouldn't be that
hard. ;If you get stuck, ask here if its X11, or on unix-porting
If it is not open source, first check to make sure you know that it
runs properly on PowerPC machines. Pretty much the only common
software that won't run under Rosetta are a) emultators (e.g.,
Virtual PC) and JNI-bridged hybrid Java apps (e.g., NeoOffice) --
pure Java, of course, runs fine unless it explicitly requires JDK 1.3.
