does the current pkg build tree for i386/8.1-stable
have X11 turned off (by default) for ghostscript-8.71 ?

elhdt# pkg_add -rf ghostscript8
Fetching
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/Latest/ghostscript8.tbz...
Done.

elhdt# ls -ld /var/db/pkg/ghost*
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Oct 18 18:06 /var/db/pkg/ghostscript8-8.71_6

running the command: gv t.ps
produces:

Unknown device: x11
Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstallpagedevice
Operand stack:
    defaultdevice

cvsuping the ports tree, rebuilding ghostscript8, and installing
(default option selection!), and the above command now works.

(after build/install):
ls -ld /var/db/pkg/ghost*
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Oct 18 18:12 /var/db/pkg/ghostscript8-8.71_6

thanks,
