Years ago, I created textproc/aspell-without-dicten during the split
between the engine and its dictionaries, and kept aspell with the
english dictionaries, as it was previously (POLA...).

A better solution would have been to repocopy aspell to aspell-engine,
and to transform aspell into a metaport of aspell-engine + en-aspell,
and then to change the dependency from aspell to aspell-engine in the
consumers ports, but, in these days, recopies were expensive.
