Also, which is better to use:
lib:libX11:XFree86 or
port:xorg-libX11 ?
The first version is better (lib:), because then one can use
a system version of X11 (such as Apple's X11.app) instead of
having to install either of the "XFree86" or "xorg*" ports...
But the XFree86 port also checks for X11 and the X11SDK and spits out
error messages explaining what the user needs to install.
Currently GCC and X11 are on the list of exceptions where
using the system versions is generally recommended over
building a new version from ports (unless somehow needed)
X11 in MacPorts is totally outdated, I think. Someone could step up to
convert to Xquartz?
