There are two differences. imake (which brings in makedepend, gccmakedep, and xorg-cf-files) is only a BUILD_DEPENDS of the xorg metaport. If you're simply installing from packages, you won't need them. If you want to rebuild them at any future time, you will. vfbserver and nestserver are depended on by 4 and zero ports respectively, none of which are in the xorg metaport. They'll only be brought in if you need one of them. So, AFAIAC, this is "working as designed". mcl
