The solution is you have to install XQuartz as the substitute of X11. You can download and install the XQuartz from XQuartz project website.
1. Download the MacPorts from its website. Select the appropriate file to meet with your Mac version. Note that you must have XCode and X11 (XQuartz in Mountain Lion) window environment installed in the system.
2. Once it’s downloaded, double-click the dmg file and follow the on-screen installation process. You have to be connected to internet while installing the MacPorts because it downloads the port files in a background process.
3. Once the MacPorts has been successfully installed, check whether the ‘port’ command is already in your PATH or not. In Mac OS X Lion, it should be already in the PATH. Otherwise run the below command to export the port into the PATH.
