Well, I fooled around a little last night. Finally logged in as a user
instead of root, booted X with no problems (well, still the font error, but it
doesn't seem to effect anything). Tracked the problem down to an & after the
window manager call in .xinitrc. Doesn't make much sense to me, as
I had this problem. It's failing to set the default font path because
xpmac is a bad egg. What you need to do is pile all of your fonts into
one directory, use mkfontdir on that directory, and use startx --
-mach64 -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/fontpiledir.

Ok.
$> startx -- -mach64
Screen blacks, then grey screen shows up for a second (usual X first starting
screen), then it aborts and goes back to original screen which says:
