Apple's X11 is not a great piece of software. It's something that was not created with ease of use and transferability in mind. It's Apple's fault for not doing so, and for not re-writing it to comply with some basic norms of their OS (Migration Assistant) but it's an optional install, one that is free and readily available with your Mac OS X DVD so it's not as big of a problem as you make it.

So if the Migration Assistant copied Photoshop files over for you would expect it to install Photoshop on your new Mac for you? That's silly. All it does is copy the contents of your old home folder to the new Mac, it's not magic.
Mig. Ass. also copies your applications directory, and all apps contained within it. And guess where Apple's X11 resides?
Exactly.
