My guess is that the wxGTK port is the only option as it is the most 
completely implemented port for X11 environments.  You could try using 
--with-x11 which will give you the wxX11 port (which is based on 
wxUniversal) but the last time I checked wxPython wouldn't build with it 
because of some missing methods and classes that wxPython assumes are 
available.
