Hmm. Just some highlights. It took a compiler??

    fontconfig
      expat
      ossp-uuid
        perl5.28
          db48
          gdbm
            readline

            libunistring
              perl5
              texinfo
                help2man
                  perl5.34
                  p5.34-locale-gettext

          libpsl
            python310
              libedit
              libffi
                expect
                  tcl

    libheif
      dav1d
        clang-14
          cctools
            libunwind-headers
            llvm-3.7
              llvm_select

          clang-11
            clang-9.0
              clang-3.7
              libomp
              llvm-9.0
              clang_select
              ld64
                ld64-274
                  libmacho-headers

        meson
          py39-setuptools
            python39

      aom
        git
          perl5.26
          python27
            openssl11
            python2_select

Interestingly, X 11 is not on that list. And Gd2 is installed as non-X:
keybounceMBP:~ michael$ port info gd2
gd2 @2.3.3_1 (graphics)
Variants:             universal, (-)x11

Cairo was another port installed, and not on that list. (Checked -- it's +quartz -X11)
