I've just tried that and was at least able to confirm that, yep, you can get hiDPI on OSX. You'd have to do the xrandr dance and really crank up face height in Emacs but it is possible and the text is crisp. Sadly, I was unable to have XQuartz recognize that I have two displays. xrandr reports a single one, XQuartz darkens both and lets you only drag a part of the window onto external display. Google is very quiet on all things XQuartz. Ditto their mailing list.

I've not tried x2go, it doesn't have x2goserver package for Guix. I could probably try and build it from source. I have tried XPRA, which kinda worked but the author confirmed that HiDPI won't work on OSX, yet.
