You wanted to install: /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui or /usr/ports/net/cvsup -DWITHOUT_X11

Tip: Add WITHOUT_X11=yes to your /etc/make.conf, it should stop this happening in the future. 

To remove X11 you want to:

  pkg_deinstall -ri XFree86

(The -i flag will prompt for each package to prevent you inadvertantly removing anything important)
