Using i-Installer, I installed ImageMagick and now indeed display works.
X11 was installed before MacTex, but somehow display only returned the
help and no errors. The new display binary installed by i-Installer
works as indicated by Bruno (Version: ImageMagick 6.3.3 03/06/07 Q16).

When X11 is not running it returns the expected error:
display: unable to open X server `:0.0'.
Both display binaries have the same size, but the one from MacTex does not work:
from MacTex:   34656 Sep 24 20:00 display
from i-Installer:  34656 Mar  6 18:23 display

So, (re)installing ImageMagick with i-Installer results in a working "display".
Thanks for your help!

Best regards,
Bernd
