media-fonts/terminus-font only requires X11 packages if USE=X is
enabled (adding deps on x11-apps/mkfontdir and media-fonts/encodings)
or USE=pcf is enabled (adding a dep on x11-apps/bdftopcf). All these
deps are compile-time only. USE=pcf installs the fonts used in X11,
USE=psf installs the fonts used on the console.
