The intention is that the resulting package does not depend on X.
So you pkg_add foo-no_x11 and it will get installed fine on a system
without X.
On the other hand, a port may drag in build dependencies which do
require X, this is normal.

Yes. People who build ports are expected to have all filesets installed,
including X.
