These error messages are repeated many times in your log:

If you have a custom ~/.xinitrc file, try hiding it from the startup
sequence (e.g. rename it to ~/.xinitrc-old) and see if X11.app launches.
Same thing for a custom ~/.xserverrc file.
Keep an eye on your
system log for the same error messages.

If X11.app can be launched in a new user account, then there is a
problem in your existing user account. See previous suggestion.
