Ghostscript has an X display component, but if you muck around in the Ghostscript makefile there may be a way to disable it (--no-x with configure or some define). I have X on the computers that I installed it on so I can't say how to disable it offhand. The old ports/packages tree used to pull stuff automatically (the way I like it), but some people may have complained that they got built without too much human intervention.
