Ok. It does look possible. After my prior email, I discovered the "GS_OPTIONS"
environment variable. With the setting below, ghostscript is working for me.
I'll have to do more tests to make sure its finding all my fonts, but so far so

getenv ("GS_OPTIONS")
ans = -sGenericResourceDir="/Users/bpabbott/Development/macports/Standalone
