Comment (by mojca@…):

 Before I loose control of what I'm doing, I created a playground in SVN
 (svn: https://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/users/mojca, trac:
 https://trac.macports.org/browser/users/mojca/ports).

 I have put geant4-data there and two separate ports for Geant4 9.6.p02 and
 10.0.b01. The ports should probably end up being combined in some other
 way, but I wanted to have some Portfile to start with. Current TODO list:
 * figure out if it would be better to combine data files based on version
 of Geant4 rather than based on version of data (pro & contra)
 * find out all dependencies, possibly split x11 in a clean way
 * try to get rid of some paths like Geant4/GeantVERSION/Geant4
 * implement options from Geant4 9.4 (or rather: figure out which ones are
 needed and which ones are not)
 * possibly write a Portfile for Geant4 9.5 (depending on how long it will
 take to get these ports uploaded, it might be outdated enough, so that it
 won't even need to be added ;)
 * figure out how to combine different versions: as subports, using some
 PortGroup, ...; should one account for Geant5 in the naming scheme
 * implement a function to choose the default version of Geant4 as it is
 done for Python (using {{{port select}}}); symliking won't be sufficient:
 executable scripts need to be patched to recognize the path
 * test, ...
