Pathway Tools relies upon the X11 system. When Yosemite is installed, one of the things it does is to remove the X11 system. On older Macs, the X11 software was uninstalled under /usr/X11, however on Yosemite, it is now installed under /opt/X11. In order to make Pathway Tools compatible with Yosemite, you need to do the following:

In a terminal, type "sudo ln -s /opt/X11 /usr/X11" (without quotes)
Re-install Pathway Tools.
The installer will now correctly find the X11 software that it needs.

UPDATE: Apparently Yosemite introduced some compatibility issues with older versions of XQuartz and the XQuartz upgrader tool. It's recommended that you download the latest version of XQuartz dmg and install that version (currently v2.7.7 is verified to work).
