Poppler was designed for headless use and it is also a prerequisite for many other ports which require some of the headless utilities. Poppler contains some command line utilities not found in other pdf ports such as the xpdf's.

I was curious what changed between 4.00 and 4.01, because 4.00 was able 
to build without X11

xpdf4-4.00_1,1
Depends on     :
         gsfonts-8.11_8
         freetype2-2.9.1
         png-1.6.35

Anyway, thank you for the hint to poppler. We'll test it and if it'll 
work, we replace xpdf with it!

Kind regards
