Yes.

By typing gnuplot at the prompt in Terminal.app
If you get an error, try typing /usr/local/bin/gnuplot instead.
If that works, you need to add /usr/local/bin to your system's search  
path to be able to type just gnuplot at the prompt. To do that, edit  
(or create if necessary) a plain text file named .bash_profile in  
your home directory, adding the content:
PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

X11 SDK has nothing to do with this, you need the X11.app, check the  
Applications folder.
