not exactly.

The functionality "out of the box", would be perfect. the default
would be the no-X-version.
Therefore, dependencies WOULD be taken care of.
the only issue is what is required to enable additional functionality.


The two candidates for "what will be required",  would seem to be either:

a) read docs, run pkg-get -i giflib_extraspiffy (which will do a
download of that package, and possibly ALSO the additional libX11
download), then run [alternatives foo---],

or

b) read docs, POSSIBLY run pkg-get -i libX11 if needed, then run
[alternatives foo---],


i kinda like option b, since as I mentioned, they probably already
have our libX11 anyway :)
