I thought about including WITHOUT_X11 in any of the
changes, but
a) I want to see the generic response of the port
    maintainers,
b) Playing aroung (because having problem to create
    useful and senseful patch, because it seems a little
    bit more complecated) with print/cups-pstoraster
c) wasn't sure to use Mk/bsd.port.mk or a solution like
    lang/php4 has: print/ghostscript/bsd.ghostschript.mk,
    maybe with some more common in a Makefile for
    all ghostscript derivates ...

Best,
Jens
