= Yes. And there are also packages snapshots, not only for release.

Well,  nothing prevents  anyone feeling  sufficiently strongly  about it
from  adding ImageMagick-nox11  port themselves.  I'm not  a maintainer,
after all :)

Personally, I dislike the fact that  the number of ports like this grows
and  grows.  I wish,  there  was,  say  a  nox11 top-level  category  or
something, to organize this things.

A lot of ports  have WITH and WITHOUT options. Honoring  them all with a
separate sub-port would  explode the ports tree. Think of  the amount of
permutations of mod_php,  ghostscript, or postgresql will  have. Is NO_X
-- an exception? May be... I'll do what my mentor tells me to.
