FWIW, it defaults to depending on X, but does not actually require it.
It looks like adding a no X11 option wouldn't be too hard.  If you turn
everything off, the full all-depends-list is:

/usr/ports/devel/gmake
/usr/ports/devel/bison
/usr/ports/devel/libtool15
/usr/ports/graphics/jpeg
/usr/ports/graphics/png
/usr/ports/print/freetype2
/usr/ports/x11-fonts/fontconfig
/usr/ports/textproc/expat2
/usr/ports/graphics/gd
/usr/ports/devel/libltdl15
/usr/ports/devel/gettext
/usr/ports/devel/m4
/usr/ports/devel/pkg-config
/usr/ports/converters/libiconv
