In MacPorts, that means installing it with the +x11 variant (sudo port install ImageMagick +x11). That variant is on by default, so perhaps you had deliberately disabled it when installing ImageMagick.

That's certainly possible; ImageMagick is used by many other ports. And if you had requested that the x11 variant be disabled when installing that other port, that request would have been passed down to all the dependencies that had not yet been installed.
