Thanks for responding. Evince had never needed yelp or libxul before
the last upgrade (port revision 8). I checked the diff of the Makefile
with my back up from last week and the only difference was a change in
"run depends" adding yelp. 

I commented out that portion of run depends and evince built without a
problem. Evince runs perfectly as a stand alone and with firefox just
as before.

I have added gnome@ to this email.

Thank you again for the help.

Robert
