=============
Additionally, for me, building from ports for me has tended to pull in
many, many X-windows support files when they are not needed.
Specifically, I run a non-windowing system using command line tools.
When I tried to compile Samba from ports, I finally killed the 'make'
stage after three hours of compiling X-windows stuff.
Nowhere had I ever spcified that the system was running X or any other
windowing system. Yet, there it was, three hours of wasted time.
I never had such issues when installing from packages.

Then you must have selected some non-default options that have pulled in
those as dependencies. You can remove them by:
make rmconfig
or, including all dependent ports:
make rmconfig-recursive
