People who install ghostscript as a dependency for teTeX are likely to prefer it linked with X11 libraries. I thought that doxygen had a pdf backend that would not rely on ghostscript, but it seems (according to port deps) that it relies on TeX, so...)
ghostscript being used by different projects which target different audiences, the most feature-rich it is the less unhappy people there should be.
However, a no_x11 (or disable_x11_support as some may prefer) variant should be possible to implement.
I trust nobody will prefer "disable_x11_support" as we currently have no portfiles that use that variant name. In contrast, we currently have 10 portfiles that define "no_x11" variants and 2 that define "nox11" variants.
