I may make a revised 2.0.2 for MacPorts that includes Dmitry's patch.
That would also address your next point...

An unfortunate choice, I agree.  But it should go away with either 2.0.3
or a patched 2.0.2.  (This odd naming convention has its origin in
MacPorts tradition of building ports with all features enabled by  
default,
using variants mostly to turn things off.  So +no_X11 was the usual
way to enable disabling X11 support.  And with that the double negative
became firmly entrenched :-(  )

You're welcome!
