It was removed upstream. Xpdf3 still has the no X11 option. Ideally people should use poppler. Poppler was designed for headless use and it is also a prerequisite for many other ports which require some of the headless utilities. Poppler contains some command line utilities not found in other pdf ports such as the xpdf's.
