when using the port, you should be able to disable the X support. Python
uses X via Tcl/Tk, so you'll want to look at the port and see if there's
any documented way to disable the Tcl/Tk support (Tkinter is the name of
the Python module). Setting USE_X11 appropriately may be sufficient.
If in doubt, you could try e-mailing the port maintainer.
