That's because cvsup by default want's to compile a GUI, that
depends on X11 so that get's build also. To disable it (and on many
other ports) use a make option, e.g. make -DWITHOUT_X11 to configure
the program without the use of X11.
See the output of 'grep -i x11 /usr/ports/net/vcsup/Makefile' or browse
it by hand to see other options which might be usefull.

Best solution is to deinstall X11 and reinstall cvsup with the
correct make option mentioned above. Just removing X11 will leave
you with a non working cvsup, since the linker told the executable to
look for the X11 libraries when it starts, and they're not there anymore.
