Unfortunately, neither is your advice.  'WITHOUT_X11' is obsolete.  What
you want nowadays is:

    OPTIONS_UNSET+=	x11

Note that this can be overridden by OPTIONS settings in individual
ports.  It sets the default to off, and turns off X11 for ports where
you haven't run the options dialogue.

See the comments at the top of /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.options.mk for more detail.

	Cheers,
