Description
A variant mute_fake_xauth has been created to remove the "Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding." message. This warning is due to the fact that the socket has been created by launchd. If you use the "original" xauth binary (/usr/X11/bin/xauth) of OSX, the xauth list can connect to the socket that launchd has been created and return the good information for X11 forwarding. So the best is perhaps not using the macport xauth binary but instead use the original xauth binary of OSX. You only need to change the --with-xauth=${prefix}/bin/xauth configure flag with --with-xauth=/usr/bin/X11/xauth. In this case you can also remove the dependency of xauth

So the best is perhap to add a variant like use_orginial_xauth ?

No, there's nothing fundamentally different about the OS X xauth. We shouldn't do this.
What if you're using the X server from MacPorts (xorg-server)?
