X11 is a requirement for a number of ports, and having a full install includes both the X11User package (which I believe is now installed by default in 10.5) and the X11SDK, which comes with Xcode.

Best thing here is to file a ticket: <http://trac.macports.org/newticket> since I don't already see one for upgrading mrtg.
