Can't Apple create a fake libX11 that allows an X-Window aplication to draw to Aqua? That would let Apple claim thousands of native applications overnight.

yeah, ok, add that to Apple's list of 2.48937e+24 things to do. Seriously though, I think most would be happier with faster performance of current features. Apple's main priorities are getting OS X running fully, running well, and improving performance.

Does anybody have any idea how long it would take to port an X11 app to Cocoa, just out of interest?

Depends on whether there's a fake libX11 that allows an X-Window aplication to draw to Aqua available.
