I think so too... Michael, can you, please, submit a patch updating the
existing port with better instructions for finding the distfile(s)?
However, my attempts to get this new port to work uncovered the problem
reported by Jean-Yves back _in June_. The gdk-pixbuf.loaders and the
pango.modules installed by linux-gtk2 are empty:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/68124
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/68133
This renders the installed ports inoperable (gtk can't load any images,
for example). On Sep 2 the PRs entered the never-never "feedback" state
to get maintainer's approval. A month later, the ports should be fixed
by someone else (portmgr?) due to maintainer's timeout.
