All X components are part of the ports/pkg system. If you don't want them, don't install them.

But some ports will build X (or parts of X) as dependencies. Or
dependencies on dependencies. I want to prevent that. It used to be
something like WITHOUT_X11=YES in /etc/make.conf but that was a long
time ago and I think the syntax has changed. I'm looking for the new syntax.

I have this in my make.conf, Not really sure where I got the idea to put
these in there though, its been sometime since I did and I have just
been using them ever since.

OPTIONS_UNSET= X11 X GUI

I think that's the one I was trying to remember. Many thanks.

For ports I believe that you can set "OPTIONS_UNSET+=X11" and X11 support will be deselected, but you'll still have to go through options on each port and its dependencies to remove opens that may pull in X11 dependencies.

Hello,

You may have problems with some ports if you want to build them without
X11. I had to remove WITHOUT_X11=yes because of some ports, I don't
remember their names but they were related to images creation (like
ImageMagick etc..).

X11=NO should do the job AFAICT. Disclaimer - I haven't tried it,
just seen that bsd.sanity.make says X11 is the replacement for WITHOUT_X11.
