Yes. I often compile gnuplot outside of MacPorts and in such cases it
is important (= convenient) to have wx-config in PATH.

Many ports have support to specify the path to wx-config, so that
shouldn't be an issue. I don't dare to say that every port has that
already, but those which don't need to be fixed anyway.
Also, I don't know where to find "hello world" examples for port
select. It might be useful for Geant4 as well.
