You are quite correct in your suspicstions that X11 is responsible. 
Apple's X11 does not support OpenGL 1.3 /3.  This may be why you are
unable to run Steam.

However, I do have a quesion:  Which Darwine are you using and which
release?

XQuartz may support OpenGL 1.3 in the 2.4 release, if not earlier.  It
is not supported in 2.3.1.
