I'd like to commit a version of the patch in 36112, with my suggested
modifications, and updated to handle changes to the affected ports in
the time since the PR was submitted (e.g. new ports, fixing conflicts
in the patch, etc).  I'd prefer it if someone else could submit the
revised patch, but I'll get to it eventually if no-one else does.

I'm not sure what you mean here.

What would such a bsd.ghostscript.mk contain?
