If the x11 device isn't listed when you do gs --help then the binary has 
been built without X11 support.

If you want X11 then you're going to have to build from source yourself, 
with the X development libraries available. Or bug the package 
maintainer about it; it's entirely possible there is a good reason why 
they built a Ghostscript package without X11 support.
