It looks like it starts up ok:
phoenix:~ tg$ DISPLAY="" /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11
X11.app: DISPLAY does not look like a launchd set variable, unsetting.
X11.app: main(): argc=1
argv[0] = /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin
Waiting for startup parameters via Mach IPC.
X11.app: Could not connect to server (DISPLAY is not set). Starting X server.

I don't get any errors, just another prompt.
