Sorry for inconvenience : solved by reinstalling X11-2.6.3.dmg from xquartz.macosforge.org
Problem was coming from an Xcode upgrade (RTFM ;-)

AFAIU this crash is due to having xcb fully enabled in cairo 1.10.2 in MacPorts (note: the xcb-backend and xlib over xcb is not considered stable in cairo yet (on the roadmap for cairo 1.12) and is not enabled by default. Yet in the cairo port it was not added as variant but is now enabled by default and cannot be turned off by a variant (e.g. -x11_xcb). The result of this cairo configuration is that e.g. GTK+ apps compiled with a current MacPorts tree can no longer be run with the default X11 version installed on Leopard (no xcb support in X11 2.1.6 - this was only added in later Xquartz releases ≥ 2.5.1).

Another side-effect of enabling this unstable feature (xlib over xcb) in the stable cairo port (1.10.2) are rendering errors (text overflowing the container, missing or incorrect gradient shadings/highlights e.g. for buttons and scrollbars when using gtk theme engines like clearlooks and murrine).
