kind of... I'd say that XQuartz.app plus /opt/X11/bin/Xquartz serve that task. /usr/X11/bin/Xquartz is a stub that sends its command line arguments to XQuartz.app over IPC to instruct it how to run. It exists in order to make the server look more like it does on other platforms in order to use startx within the LaunchAgent to kick off the server.

You're looking for /opt/X11/bin/Xquartz
