It's automatic on OSX 10.5.  In fact, if you set DISPLAY in your shell  
startup, this may interfere with the automatic DISPLAY setting.

Nope.  Unless you use the Python GUI.  Or use an Aqua TclTk.  But you  
still need X11 for a "display", ie from d.mon (I believe the display  
mechanism has been removed from GRASS 7).

I think this has appeared before, but I don't know the solution, if  
any.  The GUI experts could tell you.
