IIRC, ghostscript is usually configured to support X11 as an output. The
port is probably set this way by default (more machines than not would
have X11 installed I would guess).
There should be a way of convincing the port that you don't want the X
support, in which case you can rebuild it without XFree. Otherwise you
can probably delete everything except the X libs (in /usr/X11R6/lib ?).
If you can't figure this out, I suggest that you try and contact the
port's maintainer, or redirect your question to the ports mailing list.
