I see this same "Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing ..." with many of the X11 program in macports that I've tried: xpdf, xmgrace, xdvi. However, the ghostscript (gs) X mode works ok.

This is on a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.5.6. I just installed macports yesterday (used to have Darwin Ports on a previous laptop so I knew how it worked); I've done a number of installs and upgrades, and port outdated now shows nothing to be outdated. I'm using the Mac OS X11 server. Not sure what other diagnostics would be helpful, but I downloaded macports specifically to use Grace and that definitely seems to be broken right now!
