XDarwin uses the Xfree86 open source version of X11 while Apple's uses
their own implementation. X11 has open specifications, so if you have an X
implementation installed, you should be able to complile a program that
calls X11 functions.

Apple's implementation is a bit faster, I think, than Xfree86's. Makes
sense, Apple can put the hooks in to optimize the library to their
hardware.

Looking at ps, my guess is that it is the "quartz-wm". You can probably
use others, but I haven't tried.

/Applications/X11 on my install.
