xetex update via tlmgr fails

My monthly attempt at "tlmgr update" today spits out the following.

This is the first update I have done on this FreeBSD system, I
installed TL2026 when it was fresh --- via the "unx" script. As best I
remember, that install went without any problem.

At first I thought this happened because I updated FreeBSD from 14.3
to 14.4 just yesterday. But now I see that fontconfig is just not
installed, and never has been I think. This is very much a headless,
text only system so I'd prefer not to install fontconfig if it can be
helped.

And I never use xetex, so if I can just disable it or remove from the
install that would be a perfect solution, how can I do that?
