build ports without X -- make.conf

Hey all,

In BSD 4.x, there was a section in the make.conf manpage that said you 
could define WITHOUT_X11 and ports would build without it (for things like 
ghostscript, cvsup, etc, which have distinctly different ports)

For some reason this is gone in 5.x -- what's the appropriate way to do 
this now (since WITHOUT_X11 still worked on a couple ports I've tried.)

If this is still the valid way, shouldn't it be documented as such?
