--- Comment #4 from Denis Polygalov <dpolyg at gmail.com> ---
It was added because some users want to use qt5-gui in a scenario without Xorg
stack:

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=566177
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241490

for near the same reason X11 option (possibility of building qt5-gui while
make.conf contain OPTIONS_UNSET+=X11) was added:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=247994

BTW the X11=off still does not work correctly:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=262036
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=266398


It seems like all this mess caused by requests from people who want to use
pdf-to-something or something-to-pdf conversion applications on a headless
systems or run GUI application remotely. I think qt5-gui is essentially
gui-related library and these requests to strip X11 and mesa-* dependencies
from qt5-gui are... a bit unfounded but I might be wrong.
