And I'd guess that C# doesn't make a lot of sense without being able to use GUI thingies.

However, Mono uses GTk2, no? And port:gtk2 can be built with +quartz which doesn't depend on X11 at all from what I can see.

However, gtk2+quartz and gtk2+x11 are currently incompatible, but that's probably not an issue for someone who apparently doesn't have any X11 ports installed at all.
