More to the point, set WITHOUT_X11=yes in /etc/make.conf or on the command 
line when building php5-gd and t1lib. On headless servers, putting it 
in /etc/make.conf will save a few headaches.
Sadly, php5-gd hides the WITHOUT_X11 from the OPTIONS dialog, but it's in 
the /usr/ports/lang/php5/Makefile.ext:

.if ${PHP_MODNAME} == "gd"
LIB_DEPENDS=    freetype.9:${PORTSDIR}/print/freetype2 \
                png.5:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/png \
                jpeg.9:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/jpeg
.       if !defined(WITHOUT_X11)
USE_XORG=       xpm
.       endif

So, if you need more finegrained control, put this in /etc/make.conf:

.if !empty(${.CURDIR:M*/graphics/php5-gd/*}) ||
	!empty(${.CURDIR:M*/devel/t1lib/*})
WITHOUT_X11=yes
.endif

The good (if not best) thing about the ports system is that Makefiles are 
readable, though the stuff in /usr/ports/Mk can be overwhelming, you can 
figure out what does what from a port's Makefile pretty well, even when you 
don't know much about make(1). And of course there's ports(7) and the 
elaborate comments at the start of /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
