Thank you all for you help.
I had to install XQuartz (I have not seen the FAQ entry). After next Inkscape start a window appeared asking me where my X11 is located. I have chosen XQuartz in Utility Programs. First time it wouldn't open, but at the second try and after an extended startup time of around 1 minute Inkscape appeared. While was somehow different for me to get it running, it worked out well.
Cheers Christian

before a couple of days I needed to upgrade from osx 10.6 to 10.8. Today I realized Inkscape doesn't open any more. On the download page is only a snow leo version available. So does that mean you are not supporting osx any more? This would be a horrible loss for me. Maybe there are other options to get inkscape running on my mac again. If so, I would be very glad about any tipps how to do it.
Please read http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Inkscape_fails_to_launch_on_OS_X_10.8_Mountain_Lion
On Mountain Lion, you first need to install XQuartz (Please do not forget to logout and back in (or reboot) as described in the FAQ to properly finish the installation of XQuartz).
