 *   makefile's check for existance of DISPLAY only checked if the variable
 *   was defined, and didn't not check the possibility of an empty DISPLAY, which
 *   was the cause of the packages build error.

That's not the reason -- DISPLAY is not set in the build scripts.
(And it's probably a bug in the X libraries that it prints out that it
"can't open display ''" when it's not even defined.)

You see these in the error logs because the build scripts ignore the
BROKEN tag.  Some ports repair themselves for various reasons
(unreachable master site comes back, distfile corruption fixed, etc.)
Please change these to FORBIDDEN if you don't think these will ever be
fixed.

Actually, doesn't Xvfb do something like what we need?
