 There are two different ways.
 
 - Add a touch of an empty file something like if it compiles with gtk1  
 then create ${PREFIX}/include/scintilla/.scintilla-gtk1 and if with gtk2  
 then create ${PREFIX}/include/scintilla/.scintilla-gtk2. The other ports  
 can check on if .scintilla-gtk(1|2) exists then mark it as IGNORE.
 
 - Create a slave port like x11-toolkits/scintilla-gtk2 and rename the name  
 of library to libfoo-gtk2.so that way both gtk1 and gtk2 versions can be  
 install together. There will be no block for any apps to be install.
 
    Also, you can do something like x11-toolkits/scintilla only install  
 header files if they don't change, then create two new scintilla-gtk1  
 (without change name of file) and scintilla-gtk2 ports. To do this, you  
 will have to hack in the every ports that depend on scintilla-gtk2 (for  
 change name of libraries). If you want to do this, don't forget to tweak  
 the dependencies.
 
    Or you can do something like x11-toolkits/scintilla (meta-port),  
 x11-toolkits/scintilla-header (install headers),  
 x11-toolkits/scintilla-gtk1 (unchange, has gtk1 libraries) and  
 x11-toolkits/scintilla-gtk2 (change name, has gtk2 libraries). Have both  
 scintilla-gtk* depend on scintilla-header. Have scintilla depend on  
 scintilla-gtk1 by default without have to tweak other ports that depend on  
 old x11-toolkits/scintilla. SciTE depends on scintilla-gtk2. You can check  
 on graphics/gimp, gimp-apps and etc for example.
 
    There are different ways, you can play with it and find which is better  
 for these ports.

 I will checking your patch in another email that you have resend and I can  
 commit it in this afternoon.
