(removing crosspost)

You've got two separate things going on, so I'll address the issues in
two separate mesages

We don't support either xorg or xfree86 on anything later than 10.4. 
I'm not at all surprised that your XDarwin application would be
nonfunctional.

See if you can run "sudo dpkg -r --force-depends xorg xorg-shlibs
xfree86 xfree86-shlibs".  This may give you an error, and if so, then
you'll probably need to edit the file /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status by hand.

If you know how to use vi, run

   sudo vi /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status

If you know another text editor that does not damage files, use it 
(nano, pico, with some care also emacs or bbedit, with extreme care even 
  TextEdit).
Look for a line

Package: xfree86 (or xorg)

Then remove the whole paragraph (this line and all lines up to the next 
"Package:" line).

If there is still a line "Package: xfree86-shlibs (or xorg-shlibs)", do the same for \
this.

Save the file and then remove all files in /sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/ whose 
name begins with "xfree86" (or "xorg").

Then run

pkgutil --verify com.apple.pkg.X11User
pkgutil --verify com.apple.pkg.X11SDKLeo
pkgutil --verify com.apple.pkg.X11DocumentationLeo

to see if you do have Leopard's X11 installed, and if it's still functional.  Since \
it uses /usr/X11 rather than /usr/X11R6 it may even be OK.
