sysinstall and dependencies

Hi,
6.1-RELEASE-p2
I recently used sysinstall to install cups-1.1.23 via packages/ftp/ 
Main Site.
That adds ghostscript-gnu and xorg-libraries as dependencies.

That's not what I wanted, I don't use a gui, so I selected  
ghostscript-gnu-no-X11.
That didn't work, it installed ghostscript-gnu first and the no-X11  
install failed.

Now I'm stuck with xorg-libraries, which I don't need nor want.

Is there a way to install ghostscript-gnu-no-X11 and fix the cups  
dependencies?

What would have been the proper way to use sysinstall/packages or  
pkg_add and get no-X11 instead of regular ghostscript-gnu?
