I'd vote for dropping the dependency on gitk (and therefore on X11).
(To strictly answer your request to speak up, I'd have to remain silent
since I do not object.)

I'm not suggesting that pkgsrc should follow another package management
system, but for reference, on RHEL 7, the package named git does not
include gitk.  They have a meta-package named git-all that includes
more stuff (such as gitk), and the git package description mentions the
git-all meta-package:

Below are the dependencies of the git and git-all packages for reference.
