You could also just rm the x11-* directories from the ports tree, and
then set exceptions for csup/cvsup/whatever to not update them. It'll
generate an error if you try to install any X11 dependent ports, but it
wont install them ;)
Obviously the above fix is better, but it would need to be tested
thoroughly before being committed.
