To boot into single-user mode on a Mac with OSX, hold down Command-S while it's starting. It'll drop you into single-user, read-only. Following the directions it prints out - I believe you can run:
"/sbin/fsck -y / && /sbin/mount -wu /"

I haven't been able to get X working from the console, but Aqua is much better anyways...

And most of the time, I'd rather work from Terminal.app anyways... It's interesting how Macs store their applications... they're not executable files at all, they're directories!
