It seems that you have checked lvga256 and vgalib options in
ghostscript-gpl configuration dialog. This dialog is not the
standart port's OPTIONS dialog and it doesn't remember the options you
have choosen between builds. So, to fix the build:

cd /usr/ports/print/ghostscript-gpl
make clean
make install

Once you are in this dialog again, just go on with the defaults.

BTW, can someone more experienced comment on reasons to have non-standard
configure script? Possibly related: are there any non-trivial reasons
to have ghostscript (rather significant for many other ports) maintained
by ports@ ? Or are there just no volunteers?
