David,

You may want to take a look at the following:

http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/download/

I installed the above and the GIMP for Mac OS X. I never opened a
terminal window and I never did anything more complicated than
installing any regular Mac OS X app. Running the GIMP automatically
activates the X11 server. It Just Worked. I suppose Mono and
Mono/Gtk#-based applications for Mac OS X could be just as simple to
install and use.

Cheers,
