Multi-monitor support of XQuartz on OS X 10.9 Mavericks is known to be partially broken - this is a problem which Apple must fix in a future update of Mavericks (according to the developer and maintainer of XQuartz).

Wrt dialog windows which open off-screen (or in-between the native OS X spaces used for the different displays) and can't be reached (aka invisible, but initially have focus for input) - you could test the workaround described for document properties here (you might have to repeat the steps twice to make it work):

(Note: AFAICT the workaound will only work for dockable dialogs, which reuse the current mouse pointer position on close as center position of the same dialog the next time it is opened. For non-dockable dialogs in Inkscape 0.48 like 'Bitmap Export' there doesn't seem to exist a workaround to the best of my knowledge (except that manually resetting the stored x, y position in the preferences file might help if the dialog was last used with a different screen configuration)).
