That was the other issue indeed. The path for xterm is not set  
correctly. Try in the Apple Terminal (where the path is set correctly):

DISPLAY=":0.0"

and then xdvi again.

If the first command gives an error, you're using csh or similar.  
Then try

set DISPLAY=":0.0"

and xdvi again.

Search the archives for discussions on how to set the path for xterm.
