building from ports without a full system installation is not supported, even for no_x11 flavours, and a system without X libraries will seriously restrict the packages you can install.
Not supported.

And if I might anticipate the next question...If I place a Windows 98 exe with known vulnerabilities on a Windows 7 machine, at what point does the Windows 7 machine become vulnerable? When the file is placed on disk, or when the exe is executed?

In other words, as long as you aren't *running* X, your server is safe
