Description
Although Pango was originally intended for GNOME and X11, it is now quite flexible, and can work with Cairo as its back-end renderer (even on non-X11) systems. Thus, I would request dropping the "libX11" and "Xft2" dependencies, or making them part of a "+x11" variant. As far as I can tell, Pango itself is happy without them being present.

Currently, the files installed by pango on my system do require Xft2 and libX11. Perhaps this would change if I installed a version of cairo which did not require X. I'll wait for a solution to #12786 before dealing with this ticket.

Solution to #12786 posted there. For this:
variant no_x11 {
depends_lib-delete lib:libX11.6:XFree86 port:Xft2
configure.args-append --without-x
}
