Althought I haven't tried this on OSX 10.8, I'm pretty sure x11 is
supposed to automatically start whenever any X application starts.
I'm pretty sure from a standard Terminal app, I can just type xemacs
and bring up an X11 window without having to the X server before hand.
I'll try this later on 10.6 box and a 10.8 box when I get a chance.
