Hi ports@,

# make
Fatal: building ports requires correctly installed X11 (in www/darkhttpd)
*** Error 1 in /usr/ports/www/darkhttpd (/usr/ports/infrastructure/mk/bsd.port.mk:3894 '.BEGIN': @exit 1)

Is there an override to attempt building ports without X11 installed? I
can't even build say www/darkhttpd without X11 installed, which seems
ridiculous.

I get that as a rule of thumb it's needed for many ports, but I feel
there ought to be some way to force it to move ahead anyway.
