I have installed the latest x2goclient package on OS X El Capitan using MacPorts. I have also installed the MacPorts xorg-server and xmodmap packages.

In my user account .profile script, MacPorts has added the following line to set the PATH variable: export PATH="/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH"

I have confirmed that xmodmap exists in one of these directories, in: /opt/local/bin

When attempting to connect to any X2Go session, an error dialog appears with the following message before the application crashes:

xmodmap failed to start.

This likely means the binary is not available. The current search path is: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin

Hmm... AFAIK I'm adding /opt/local/bin to the search path in 4.0.5.2. Are you absolutely sure you're on 4.0.5.2 and not 4.0.5.1? For 4.0.5.1, I released a hotfix release tagged 4.0.5.1-1-osx, that fixes this issue explicitly.

It appears that /opt/local/bin is not being searched for xmodmap, despite its presence in the PATH variable of my user account .profile script. I even attempted to reboot before starting x2goclient in case the PATH variable needed to be re-read, but the error did not change.

That is normal, OS X resets the PATH to a clean value (see above, though without /opt/X11/bin) for programs launched via the graphical interface or the "open" utility.
