objections to making those two ports consistent with all

If it balloons out the build times I'd prefer not, at least on the
vax port. None of the vaxen I use have frame buffers.
Well, I think the point of xvfb is that it doesn't require or use a
framebuffer in the machine.
Yup, exactly. The relative additional time for a build with
and without xvb is going to be marginal - if you want to
save build time you should skip building X11 altogether,
or crossbuild from a faster box. Given that x68k is going
to have xvfb added that would leave vax as the odd port
out.
I'll time three vax builds - one without x11, one with x11
but no xvfb, and one with x11 and xvfb. These will all be
crossbuilds from a random x86 box, but as its relative
times we're looking at that should be fine.
