My experience is that ghostscript isn't compiled with an x11 device in 
the following circumstances:

I compile it in a jail, with BATCH=yes set in /etc/make.conf.

If I don't compile it in a jail, and set the options the regular way, 
then it does seem to compile with the x11 device present.

Maybe this will give people a clue as to where the error is.  Maybe a 
bug in the default setting of options in the ports system?
