46# These variables can be used in make.conf to configure options. They are
47# processed in the order listed below, i.e. later variables override
the effects
48# of previous variables. Options saved using the options dialog are processed
49# right before OPTIONS_SET_FORCE. When building a port a dialog to configure
50# options will only appear if there are new options, i.e. options
which have not
51# been configured before either using the option dialog in a previous build or
52# using the variables below. You can force the dialog to appear by running
53# "make config".
54#
55# OPTIONS_SET - List of options to enable for all ports.
56# OPTIONS_UNSET - List of options to disable for all ports.
57# ${OPTIONS_NAME}_SET - List of options to enable for a specific port.
58# ${OPTIONS_NAME}_UNSET - List of options to disable for a specific port.
59#
60# OPTIONS_SET_FORCE - List of options to enable for all ports.
61# OPTIONS_UNSET_FORCE - List of options to disable for all ports.
62# ${OPTIONS_NAME}_SET_FORCE - List of options to enable for a specific port.
63# ${OPTIONS_NAME}_UNSET_FORCE

 You will need to use OPTIONS_UNSET in make.conf, if you want to
disable X11 support in all ports:

OPTIONS_UNSET=X11

The message could have been clearer if it had said:

WITHOUT_X11 is deprecated use OPTIONS_UNSET+=X11 instead

Looks like WITHOUT_X11 and WITHOUT_NLS were commented out in r327582
of bsd.sanity.mk.  So you don't have to switch yet.
