Unfortunately no. Binary packages record dependencies on other packages and as X.org is default X11 (for contemporary versions of FreeBSD) dependencies on xorg-* packages are recorded for official packages. make.conf is not consulted when installing packages at all. If you install stuff from ports though, your setting of X_WINDOW_SYSTEM will cause your own packages to depend on XFree86-* packages so in that case things that rely on X will be happy as long as you build them from ports yourself.
