thanks for the tip, mel. i got rid of the ports involved and reinstalled
with WITHOUT_X11=yes and the install was faster and things are a lot tidier.

i had no idea that i ought to be configuring port builds with env vars. is
there documentation anywhere so i find out about these options in gneral?
