X11 can be present, but it won't necessarily be a usable X11. A i386
cross-build on Alpha will use an alpha X11 to build an i386 doscmd.
That's wrong.

Ok, but this means that we won't install doscmd with X11 support
anymore. The user has to rebuild doscmd itself to have X11 support. In
that case, it's better to have it in the ports collection...
