Hmmm... Actually I wasn't aware that I had an approach. :-) The thing is, as stated before, that the non-X11 binary should be installed WITH the X11-binary, if chosing to install the port using X11. Where should then the non-X11 binary be placed? If installing the port, not using X11, then it's easy. Then it should go to /usr/local/ bin.
