"open -a XQuartz && %(o?)xdvi"

Assuming you have installed texlive either with the unix installer or in its MacTeX incarnation, you should have xdvi. Since you do have XQuartz installed, calling xdvi in the usual way (like on Linux) will trigger XQuartz and then open xdvi via XQuartz listening socket.

Hope this helps,
