erlang base is whatever the current default erlang is.

Erlang- runtime-* are older or newer releases to allow compatibility
for various applications just like we have multiple php and llvm
versions in ports.
WX is GUI bindings to wxwidgets obviously it pulls in X and gtk as well
which isn’t necessaryfor servers. By way of example, erlang has a nice
GUI tool called observer that needs these bindings.
All of them support make options if you want to build with wx or dtrace
etc so you can have whatever you want.
Most of the erlang-dependent ports require a minimum of the base erlang
port but can be built against newer releases.
A+
