The only solution I see if we do not want to get stuck because of old 
unmaintained stuffs is to copy print/poppler to print/poppler016 (or whatever 
name), rename/fix the conflicts and adapt these 3 ports to use poppler016, then 
update print/poppler to version 0.18.
I can bet some ports will soon require poppler >= 0.18 soon, so better be 
proactive about it.
