 Fernan,
 
  From looking at other ports, like devel/rapidsvn, that support either 
 wxgtk24 or wxgtk26, it appears that it is possible for the Makefile to 
 autodetect which one is installed and adjust the dependencies accordingly.
 
 If that is not possible for this port, would it be possible to change 
 the dependency to wxgtk26?
