Are you asking about HAL or X?
I already answered this question if it's about HAL.

I don't deviate from FreeBSD defaults for fun.  In general we accept
whatever options the ports defines.  We just particularly don't like HAL
on by default so it was removed as a default option where possible.  If
it's still pulled in that's because it is a fixed dependency (it can't
build without it and there's no option to skip it)

We've not done anything similar with "X".
