Comment(by jeremyhu@…):

 Replying to [comment:6 mta@…]:
 > If you don't want to add a system_x11 variant to these ports, then you
 should remove them as dependents for other ports.

 Which ports (other than xorg and xorg-apps) depend on these application?
 Nothing in there should.

 >  Right now it's impossible to install things like gnome-desktop,
 nautilus, evince, and perhaps others since they all depend on xorg

 They shouldn't depend on xorg.  They may be depending on lib:libX11:xorg,
 but that should be satisfied without bringing in the xorg package.

 > which depends on xorg-apps which depends on all of these programs.

 Yes, because xorg-apps is a meta-package for all the x.org applications.

 > As it is, you can't install something like gnome-desktop if you've
 installed the X11 libraries with the system_x11 variant.

 The solution is to figure out why gnome-desktop is pulling in xorg.  My
 MBP just borked, so I'm short a dev box for a few days... =/  sorry I
 can't dive into this more right now
