AFAIK The options documented for make.conf concerns building the base 
system. But you can add options for ports as well: Adding

   WITHOUT_X11=YES

will cause all ports that support the option to be built without X11 so 
you don't have to specify it every time.

Whether you install ImageMagick from ports or not, you need the X11 
libraries. The pkg_delete or any other of the package/ports tools won't 
warn you about anything breaking unless it is installed from ports.

Cheers, Erik
