Hi Christian,

I handled the docDATA/NOPORTDOCS problem in the GraphicsMagick12 port
with the following excerpt from the Makefile:

.if defined(NOPORTDOCS)
# Get rid of the Makefile targets that install the documentation
# and HTML files into DOCSDIR
EXTRA_PATCHES+=	${FILESDIR}/extra-patch-Makefile.in
.endif

My files/extra-patch-Makefile.in contains:

- --- Makefile.in.orig	2008-11-19 17:40:16.000000000 -0500

There may be other ways to do it, but this worked well for me.

Hope it helps,
Greg
