I do have XQuartz installed, from before starting to build MacPorts.  The
installation instructions for demeter say to install xorg-server.

Have you tried installing xQuartz or following Zack's instructions exactly?

Depends on what "exactly" means. ;).  I did not "migrate", I built MacPorts
from scratch, after completely erasing any trace of MacPorts as described
in their own uninstalling description.
This was my second attempt at a completely fresh install on El Capitan, and
I've installed Demeter with MacPorts on several machines using previous OS
/ MacPorts / Demeter versions.  Something is definitely broken.

The problem I see is not related to X.  It's that Perl's PDL does not
compile with GSL.   I submitted a ticket about this to the MacPorts site.
