Installing portupgrade without X.org

Hey Paul
From what I remember portupgrade does not use x-libs. But your culprit
might be ruby or bzip because they are the dependencies for this pkg and
those might require some kind of x-libs to run. You might want to look
into the makefiles for each dependency and looking if it's using X in
any ways. And seeing there if you can disable it.
