If you find a way to do this could you post it back to the list.  I don't want to install X just to build the docs either.

Yeah, I started making that docproj meta-port.  Then, I got a little
perterbed when it started building and installing Xfree86.  I think I'm
just going to install the things listed in the "needed utilities" section
of the documentation project primer.  All I really wanted is to make HTML
files out of the doc tree so that I could read the most up to date
documentation.
