The first thing I would try is updating X11: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki (The most recent version requires OS X 10.5.6, but older version are still available)
The next thing to try (which is how I first got Geany setup on Mac OS X) is building Geany as a "native" app using GTK+OSX: http://www.gtk-osx.org/ (this project does not require nor use X11)
I was building GTK+ from Git and Geany from SVN over a good period of time, a while back. It was not entirely user-friendly getting to that point (using jhbuild to get and build GTK+, for example ... that required some extra hacking) And I haven't tried the GTK+ framework, but if that works, it should be much easier to use.
Hopefully this provides a good starting point, at the least!

I've just installed the Geany 0.15 package under Mac OS X 10.4.11 using an application called the MacPort transporter to compile and install a binary package for geany on my G-5. When I try to launch it from the Terminal command line I get the error "Geany: cannot open display" and the launch process terminates. Was I supposed to configure something before trying to launch it?
