Thank you for the suggestion. I do know how to work around it when building the
package myself. My point was about expectations:

Someone installing  a -nox11 package will expect it to do just that. Instead,
x11 + wayland gets installed. That just seems wrong to me.

Also, someone using pkg (official packages, not poudriere) instead of ports
does not have much of a choice.

Thus, as I see it, there are three options to solve this:

1) Can the -nox11 ImageMagick packages as they pull in x11 stuff anyway. That
way at least no false expectations are raised.

2) Disable OPENGL, X11 and XCB per default for graphics/cairo since they result
in these dependencies. However, hoping that these options are set by default
for a reason, that might break other packages depending on graphics/cairo
providing these features.

3) Create a graphics/cairo-nox11 port with appropriate options unset so that
the -nox11 ImageMagick packages can depend on that instead of graphics/cairo.
That way other packages are left untouched while being able to provide -nox11
ImageMagic packages that actually behave as advertised. 

My preference would be for 3).

One could leave it as is, however I tend to finding that unacceptable seeing as
you do not get what you expected when installing one of the -nox11 ImageMagic
packages.
