>Environment:
FreeBSD host.tld 9.1-STABLE FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #0: Thu Jun  6 18:31:52 CEST 2013     root@xxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
>Description:
root@host /usr/ports/editors/vim # make install
..
===>   Compressing manual pages for vim-7.3.1276_1
===>   Registering installation for vim-7.3.1276_1
root@host /usr/ports/editors/vim # make show-options
===> The following configuration options are available for vim-7.3.1276_1:
     CSCOPE=on: cscope support
     EXUBERANT_CTAGS=on: Use exctags instead of ctags
     LUA=on: Lua scripting language support
     NLS=on: Native Language Support
     PERL=on: Perl scripting language support
     PYTHON=on: Python bindings or support
     RUBY=on: Ruby bindings or support
     TCL=on: Tcl scripting language support
     X11=on: X11 (graphics) support
     XTERM_SAVE=off: Restore xterm screen after exit
====> Graphical toolkit to use: you can only select none or one of them
     ATHENA=off: Athena GUI toolkit
     GTK2=on: GTK+ 2 GUI toolkit support
     GNOME=off: GNOME desktop environment support
     MOTIF=off: Motif widget library support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
root@host /usr/ports/editors/vim # LC_ALL=C gvim
E25: GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time


===================================
So what the X11 option is good for?
===================================


Further:


root@host /usr/ports/editors/vim # make config
===> No options to configure


Therefore the instruction above:

===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

is a blatant lie.


>How-To-Repeat:
See above. I removed work/ and /var/db/ports/vim/options in advance.
>Fix:
