According to the xmgr homepage, its development is frozen and it has been replaced with grace. Have you tried using grace instead?

Although we do use both grace and xmgr, the original has some significant interface differences (and a few functional differences) that did not survive the migration to Grace. There are still a lot of scientists who prefer the original software.

yes, xmgr is still used by many scientist. I reproduce the problem while compiling on lion. I tried to copy the snow leopard binary to lion - dynamically linked to macports libraries - and this works. Until fixed the SL binary can be found here:

The segmentation fault on lion persists when compiled with llvm-gcc or clang. Could this be a header problem from dependent libraries?

The problem was related to a sentinel function. Fixed in the patch above but will unfortunately give some X KEYSYM warnings. As far as I can tell these have no effect on xmgr functionality.
