Looking closer at bsd.port.mk, the better workaround probably is putting

GHOSTSCRIPT_PORT=print/ghostscript-afpl

into /etc/make.conf. This will even affect the dependency of ports that 
defined WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_* themselves, i.e. if you set

GHOSTSCRIPT_PORT=print/ghostscript-gnu-nox11

this will even change the dependency of graphics/ImageMagick:

[lofi at kiste]:0:/usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick > make all-depends-list
/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8
/usr/ports/graphics/graphviz
/usr/ports/devel/gmake
/usr/ports/devel/libtool15
/usr/ports/devel/pkg-config
/usr/ports/print/ghostscript-gnu-nox11
[...]

Still, ImageMagick affects a lot of upstream dependencies and the switch 
to -afpl probably wasn't a very smart thing to do. I'll contact the port 
maintainer of ImageMagick and portmgr about it to see if perhaps the global 
ports default for USE_GHOSTSCRIPT could be changed instead.
