Comment (by howarth.at.macports@…):

 Replying to [comment:5 jeremyhu@…]:
 > Why do you need an X11 server at build time?  That seems like an obvious
 bug in the build system to me.

 The X11 accesses arise from the byte-compilation of the R code in rNMR.r
 during the execution of the R CMD Install command. I believe this is the
 nature of the beast and you really can't work around it short of resorting
 to xvfb-run or its equivalent . As I mentioned before, this is seen for
 all CRAN modules which access X11 graphics (e.g. as R modules cairodevice,
 gwidgetsrgtk2, tkrplot, etc).
