That's spelled:

OPTIONS_UNSET=	X11

nowadays.

Unfortunately, the ports tree is not able to make any guarantees about
usability on an IPv6 only system.  Which is pretty sad given that IPv6
has been around for so many years and is so obviously the only feasible
way forward given the exhaustion of the IPv4 address space.

However, it used to be that you could get the distfiles from the cache
on the IPv6 enabled ftp.freebsd.org, where they were stored for the
benefit of the old package building systems.

There has been a switch to the new package building setup behind
pkg.freebsd.org.  Older style pkg_tools packages should still be being
produced for the supported 8.x and 9.x systems where pkgng is not the
default, but I believe the building system even for those has been
extensively revised.  I'm not sure this still involves caching all the
distfiles in the same way.  I could be wrong though.

If you can't rely on ftp.freebsd.org then you'ld have to turn to the
original master sites, and there's simply no way to find IPv6 enabled
sites for all possible distfiles.

On an IPv4 enabled system, there's no problem:
