The package depends on something which is not controlled by pkgsrc, so it comes out differently in different circumstances.

I think what's going on is that some program gets run as part of configure, and it's a python thing, and as part of 'import foo' for some value of foo I can't remember it opens up an X11 connection if DISPLAY is set, and if that fails the load fails, instead of behaving the same way as if DISPLAY is not set. So I think two fixes are needed: make the python 'import foo' not try to use X make pkgsrc ensure that DISPLAY is unset when building packages unless the package specifically asks for it to be set (for some that really need this - seems broken)
