I'm raising this again as the last time I tried to check with the port maintainer, he had not made the change, and wasn't available to do so. Can someone change the default config for graphics/php72-gd from X11=on to X11=off? It will save a large number of dependencies on X11, at the cost of not supporting this (very rarely used) image format.
