Description

The section "2.1. Install X11" of MacPorts Guide (guide.macports.org) says:

As of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, X11.app is included in the default installation. You can just skip this section for any later version of Mac OS X.

However, starting from 10.7 Lion (or 10.8 Mountain Lion? I couldn't remember exactly), X11 is not included in OS X. Folks need to go to http://xquartz.macosforge.org/ to download XQuartz. More about this in Apple's knowledge base http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5293.

Sorry, seems that I chose the wrong component. The component should be "guide" rather than "website."

You don't need to install X11 outside of MacPorts, unless you want it for other reasons. The documentation is out of date.
