Most ports build with X11 support on by default.  The "right thing" isn't 
right for everyone, but that is why there are KNOBS and OPTIONS.  Saying how 
much it sucks or how brain-dead it is isn't improving anything.  The 
infastructure is already there to build without X11.  If you don't want X11 
support all you have to do is define WITHOUT_X11=yes and OPTIONS_UNSET=X11 in 
/etc/make.conf.  It's that simple.
