Configure error? vim wouldn't build without linking x11

It appears that either configure is not detecting my system properly
or vim depends on X and is not looking for it.

When I tried to upgrade vim, the linker kept failing with this error.
/usr/libexec/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: Undefined symbols:
__Xsetlocale

Adding -lX11 to the linker command line enabled it to build and now I
have the new vim.

Maybe there should be a no_x11 variant, too?

OS X Tiger 10.4.11
Macports Trunk

I saved the output from port -d upgrade -cuv vim, but I didn't want to
paste 1452 lines :)  Would any of that be useful?
