I have felt this pain with x11/dwm as well.

They're both suckless projects and you should probably be configuring
them in the ports tree anyway, however, I would say that I would prefer
a somewhat useable graphical environment before I've set up ports.
Terminus at size 8 is not useable on a high DPI monitor...

Further to that, when you do set up the ports tree but forget to comment
out the terminus dependency then you can expect a very long build.
Terminus is built from source and brings in a lot of dependencies.

It's going to be somewhat of a maintainer's prerogative so you might be
SOL here.
