Set WITHOUT_X11=true on your make command, or set the same flag in /etc/make.conf which will pass it to all future makes.

That's not true. Emacs can be built without X11 support if necessary: $ ldd `which emacs` /usr/local/bin/emacs: libutil.so.4 => /lib/libutil.so.4 (0x28168000) libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x28174000) libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2 (0x281b3000) libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x281cd000) $ This version of Emacs has been built from the ports. I've used WITHOUT_X11 on the command line to force Emacs to build without any X11 support.

Jen Emacs requires XFree libraries, and I think imake, in order to build and run. You're not going to be "running" X just because some libraries are installed, although you may want to keep an eye on the project's site to hear if "security holes" are found, just as you should/do with any other 3rd party software you use. Now, a good question might be "Why?" I don't have any idea, myself.

Updating Emacs without installing X?
i have a server that's running FreeBSD 4.7 and the security patches are up to date but most software hasn't been upgraded in a long time. im trying to do some basic maintenance and there are some problems. First i want to upgrade Emacs from an older version, but when i try to do this from ports it starts trying to install a whole bunch of X stuff. This is just a server box, and i dont want to have _any_ X running on it. Is there a way i can get Emacs current? i didn't originally set this machine up, but Emacs is installed from Ports and theres no X on the machine, so i dont know how it was originally done. Thanks!
