Interesting. In other words, You want to make port:pTeX a meta-port, right? :-) I know beginners prefer meta-ports. But on the other hand, power-users may dislike such a "kichen sink" approach.. (For instance, some power-users may be using their own ghostscript7, not MacPorts' gs8. Because the pdfwrite device in gs8 cannot typeset Japanese vertical text yet. Ironically, oldish gs7.07 with CJK patch can do it well.) Therefore, I think it is better to provide other ways too not to install unneeded components, like the following patch. Any ideas? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19357#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Yeah... As the port already depends on ghostscript, I thought it was what this port meant. What a new comer will do is (and what I did was :), install this port, do some trial with test documents, find ghostscript is already installed --lucky enough--, but doesn't show Japanese characters, and search around in the texmf tree wondering what's wrong...
Therefore, I think it is better to provide other ways too not to install unneeded components, like the following patch.
Yeap, this is much better :) Thanks! -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19357#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
