I use VNC with Apple Remote Desktop to administer a Mac mini without
monitor... and of course I can use that to work with X11 on that Mac
mini, too. But since it's running in a (Mac OS X) VNC client window,
copying and pasting is a problem. I for one would be quite interested
if someone has a VNC based way of running X11 that runs more
transparently...
I don't know if that's what you're suggesting, but it sounded kind of
like that - so I thought I'd express my interest.
As to the X11 update, it seems to work on my MPB and PPC without
problems.
Regards,
Jens

Kinda: you can run an 8-bit VNC session somewhere (which provides
an 8-bit X display), and display the entire thing in a window on
your (24-bit) Mac. A remote console if you will, where the console
is a virtual X display.
You have to be able to deal with X window managers running inside
a regular OS X window and some moderately intricate plumbing. But
it does actually work pretty well. Let me know if you want more
details.

Nor does it fix the 8-bit display byte-swapping problems which

Bummer. VNC is a usable workaround, but I had hoped for more
serious support from Apple.
