The updater is provided by a framework called Sparkle. If the menu option is greyed out, that usually means that it is either checking or downloading the update. If it is *always* greyed out, then you should make sure that your firewall lets you access this URL:
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/sparkle/release.xml
