There are several ways to do this. The easiest way is to just set
WITHOUT_X11 in your environment: "setenv WITHOUT_X11 YES" when you use
csh or "WITHOUT_X11=YES; export WITHOUT_X11" in a bourne shell.

Another way would be a line in /etc/make.conf: WITHOUT_X11=YES

I personally use /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portconf for this, because it
let's me configure these knobs seperately for each port and works fine
with portmaster, portupgrade and manual port-installations.
