Description
I was installing the xorg-libX11 port for the first time today and I tried to use the +x11_xcb variant. That variant introduces a circular dependency. The +x11_xcb variant adds a dependency on xorg-libxcb, which needs python26, which needs tk, which needs Xft2, which needs xrender, which needs xorg-libX11. So I had to install xorg-libX11 without +x11_xcb. If a user wants the +x11_xcb variant they would have to install xorg-libX11 twice.

I think your best bet is to install python without the variant that pulls in tk. That's the odd part of the dependency cycle
