(In reply to vas from comment #4)

I think it is one more example of generic problem in FreeBSD ports
infrastructure: there is no way to specify that port X depend on port Y with
options OPT1, OPT2, e.t.c.

In this case port x11-wm/marco depends on port x11-toolkits/pango with X11=on
option.

This problem is discussed from time to time in maillists, but no solution has
been offered yet.

BTW Gentoo portage has support for dependencies with given USE flags, e. g.:
app-misc/foo[-bar,baz] - dependency on foo with bar disabled and baz enabled.

I think we should wait for comment from gnome maintainers (I'm not the one).

IMHO this behavior is not correct, but unfortunately, there is no easy way to
fix.
