If you don't want to add a system_x11 variant to these ports, then you should remove them as dependents for other ports.
Which ports (other than xorg and xorg-apps) depend on these application? Nothing in there should.
Right now it's impossible to install things like gnome-desktop, nautilus, evince, and perhaps others since they all depend on xorg
They shouldn't depend on xorg. They may be depending on lib:libX11:xorg, but that should be satisfied without bringing in the xorg package.
which depends on xorg-apps which depends on all of these programs.
Yes, because xorg-apps is a meta-package for all the x.org applications.
As it is, you can't install something like gnome-desktop if you've installed the X11 libraries with the system_x11 variant.
The solution is to figure out why gnome-desktop is pulling in xorg. My MBP just borked, so I'm short a dev box for a few days... =/ sorry I can't dive into this more right now -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17956#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
