After the tunkey-installation on osx startx complained about not finding some libs. The simple-minded I am I created some symlinks because there were some similar libs around; namely:
libICE.6.dylib -> libICE.6.3.dylib
libSM.6.dylib -> libSM.6.0.dylib
libX11.6.dylib -> libX11.6.2.dylib
libXext.6.dylib -> libXext.6.4.dylib
libXmuu.1.dylib -> libXmuu.1.0.dylib
libXt.6.dylib -> libXt.6.0.dylib
that didn't help much:
[localhost:~] admin% startx -- -quartz
Could not start XDarwin Quartz X server.
xinit: Server error.
[localhost:~] admin%please help me, I feel pretty helpless without even an XF86Config file to play around ;-)
best regards

A small percentage of X installations are not fully installed, but we have not yet determined the reason for this. The work around is to reinstall the Xserver.

The errors at startup are the same now.
In the meantime I installed plain X on another volume and it works quite good - is there a possibility to merge there working things ? ;-)

We have had a handful of users with this kind of problem, and it appears to be the only bug that we have encountered. I wish I could tell you why, but thanks for the tip. I have been passing it along to those who ask.
In addtion, MacGimp has been running a story about their Xserver developement efforts, which should also address these kinds of problems.
... I didn't manage to get X running.

Finally, I have been considering another workaround, which we have not tested yet. Here it is.
pkg_add -f http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnu-darwin/XFree86-4.0.3.tgz
pkg_add -f http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnu-darwin/XFree86-4.1.0_4.tgz
That might help with the linkage problems that several users have reported.
