Idea is that people should install package with no FLAVOR. If they
really, really want to have as little dependencies as possible, they
install "no_x11" FLAVORed package.

Let them. Really, X11 does not mean GUI.

Maybe file is not a bad option - in the end it is the most secure
filetype detection tool we have in OpenBSD ATM.

Well, I don't use file managers, but I suppose that printing mimetype
and automagically open files in right application is why you may want a
file managers. Otherwise cp, rm, ln and cd are your file manager.
