Yes, xmbmon is an X application, displaying numbers and
moving graphs, but mbmon is a CLI program. Check the
"make configure" options of the port and see if you can
deselect X support. It seems that the two initial ports,
mbmon and xmbmon, have been unified into one port, so I
assume there's a means of selection to disable the X
functionality if you're not going to use it.

Depending on your hardware, calling "mbmon" prints the
different temperature, rotation and voltage values, for
example like this:

Temp.= 52.0, 40.5, 44.5; Rot.=    0,    0,    0
Vcore = 2.53, 3.10; Volt. = 3.26, 5.48, 13.74, -13.77, -7.01

It can be run continuously or just once, the output can
be piped and parsed as needed. See "man mbmon" for details.
