Does MKX11=no (either in /etc/mk.conf or using -V in build.sh) do what you
want?

You probably also want to check into not building other 'stuff' (check man
mk.conf).  On my server, I usually build with:

MKDOC=no
MKLINT=no
MKINFO=no
MKPROFILE=no
# Don't build Auth methods we don't need
# Note that sysinst chokes w/o these due to PAM dependencies!
MKKERBEROS=no
MKKERBEROS4=no
MKHESIOD=no
MKSKEY=no
MKYP=no
# I don't use sendmail or postfix
MKSENDMAIL=no
MKPOSTFIX=no
# I don't want IPV6
MKINET6=no
# I don't want IPFilter
MKIPFILTER=no
# Build X stuff?
MKX11=no


Hope that helps.
