There has been another thread on this mailing list discussing making the 
port honour the WITHOUT_X11 and OPTIONS_UNSET+=X11 options from 
make.conf which would make it only depend on security/pinentry-curses 
instead of security/pinentry. This seems like a good solution to me. It 
would mean if one of those options is set it will only drag in a single 
dependancy rather than all the X11 libraries and GTK.
