Great, and welcome.

In emacs27-nox11, "make show-options" shows none. Looking at emacs27:
$ /usr/pkgsrc/editors > egrep gnutls emacs27*/*
emacs27/PLIST:info/emacs-gnutls.info.gz
emacs27/PLIST:share/emacs/${PKGVERSION}/lisp/net/gnutls.el.gz
emacs27/PLIST:share/emacs/${PKGVERSION}/lisp/net/gnutls.elc
emacs27/options.mk:PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTIONS= dbus gnutls imagemagick jansson svg xaw3d xml
emacs27/options.mk:PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS= dbus gnutls gtk3 jansson xml x11
emacs27/options.mk:### Support gnutls
emacs27/options.mk:.if !empty(PKG_OPTIONS:Mgnutls)
emacs27/options.mk:.include "../../security/gnutls/buildlink3.mk"
emacs27/options.mk:CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --without-gnutls
So two thoughts:
if you really need the gnutls option, perhaps use emacs27 and put up
with the xbloat. Or patch the source. I don't know why that option
isn't in both, as nox11 shouldn't really imply not gnutls, but it is
sort of "minimal" at the same time.
sometimes emacs things use external gnutls helper program. I have a
system with eamcs26-nox11 that does IMAP over TLS that way, without
any gnutls option in emacs.
