One additional quirk. Once you've set the FW disk as the startup disk
in System Preferences, Xephyr will continue to work ON that computer
even if the HD is set as the startup disk and the option key is used
to startup from the FW disk. However, when you use the FW disk on
another computer starting up with the option key, Xephyr fails again.

I've upgraded to 10.5.7 and Xquartz 2.3.3.2 on several computers
plus my portable FW drive. With the original system (10.5.6 and
Xquartz 2.3.2.?) I was able to successfully use Xephyr to start xdm
sessions on remote computers. With the current configuration, when I
try to launch a xdm session via Xephyr it fails if I start the
computer holding the option key and selecting the FW drive. If
select the FW drive as the startup disk in System Preferences, I can
successfully launch an xdm session. I deleted X11 (FAQ method) and
installed 2.3.3.1 and the same pattern repeated. It looks like an
10.5.7 problems with X11.
Here's the failed output from an xterm window when starting up
holding down the option key:
