The blank should be OK. You can take a look in build log of some package 
what options it has detected.

Are you building only bind920 or is it some larger package set? I know 
there are some packages pulling X11 libraries unconditionally because 
the are needed / are not optional. And some packages have X11 as a user 
selectable option, but must be set to ON because consumer of this 
dependency expect support of X11 from it.

Even with the OPTIONS_UNSET = X11 GUI CUPS DOCS EXAMPLES NLS I still see 
these libraries being built.

libX11-1.8.12,1.pkg
libXau-1.0.12.pkg
libXdmcp-1.1.5.pkg
libXext-1.3.6,1.pkg
libXrandr-1.5.4.pkg
libXrender-0.9.12.pkg

Most of the packages are built really without dependency on X11, but I 
know there is something pulling it unconditionally. I don't remember now 
what it was. Maybe something around Cairo, Poppler (for headless work 
with PDF) or something like this.

I tried to track it down now on one of our machines, there is a huge 
chain of library dependencies to work with some multimedia content from 
the webapp, and something around x265 / libheif needs vulkan-loader 
which has the following options set:

Options        :
         WAYLAND        : off
         XCB            : on
         XLIB           : on

So it does not uses X11 option, it has XCB and XLIB which pulls libX?? 
libraries. And I know there are some others on different machines.

The "funny" thing is, all these X libraries are used to fulfill the 
needs of ... "ImageMagick7-nox11-7.1.2.11". ImageMagick itself is built 
as nox11 because of the OPTIONS_UNSET shown above, but as ImageMagick 
has HEIF SET, then there is the chain of libX as I wrote above.

Can't speak about bind920, we don't build it in our Poudriere.

WAYLAND is the next candidate to be added to our OPTIONS_UNSET as more 
and more packages have it as an option.
