Comment (by vinc17 at macports.org):

 You can still be able to use Apple's ssh by setting GIT_SSH. Installing
 git-core will install openssh due to the dependency, but this shouldn't
 hurt.

 BTW, the dependency may be a good idea by default. But a variant to avoid
 it would probably be a good thing for powerful users as AFAIK, the
 MacPorts version can't prevent the user from choosing Apple's version via
 GIT_SSH.

 Also, do you really need X11 forwarding for git? I thought SSH was used
 only to transfer the repository data. You can try:
 {{{export GIT_SSH="ssh -x"}}}
 (or use a wrapper script).
