X11 seems to think it's an Aqua application. As such it does not honor any kind of UNIX login. Logging in to OS neXt does read the file $HOME/.MacOSX/environment.plist which you can create. Most apps will honor environment variables like LC_ALL and PATH if they are set up there. A search of archives for this list or the Apple site for "environment.plist" will show up some examples.
Warnings: 1) AppleScript does not use the plist items. 2) Terminal will execute /etc/csh.login which will overwrite whatever you put in the plist for $PATH. (I have simply removed the file.) 3) the plist is not executed or sourced by a shell so you cannot do things like appending a directory to the existing value of $PATH.
