I know, thats okay. I don't demand anyone to support his ports like a commercial product and no one is forced to supply always the latest version, thouroughly tested. I'm also a developer and contribute to others OSS projects or my own in my spare time. When I release something to the public I also don't give any guarantees. But, when I push out something that is supposed to work for many people, I try to make it work, because my motivation for sharing it is to make people happy, not causing trouble, or else I'm not going to release it or share it in ways where people don't expect it to work out of the box, a git repository for example. If somethings not ready or you don't have time to test it or even continue development, thats perfectly fine, and I don't demand getting all the latest bleeding-edge versions in time. No one is forced to contribute to MacPorts, but if you do, it should work. It is just somewhat frustrating when you're coding and get in need for some librarys, then do a port install or port upgrade outdated and it breaks the whole thing. People then often tell me: If you don't like it, fix it yourself. But I can't contribute to everything I use, so there's projects I contribute to and projects I don't. If you don't know about the codebase of a project its hard and time consuming to get in. Furthermore, I don't know that much about C/C++. Enough to do some slight modifications but when something horribly fails, especialy in build phase, I'm having a very hard time fixing this myself.

Unfortunately, the portfile states that "portions of this port are X11
specific so a +quartz build is not possible."
I don't know the specifics, but I'm guessing it's not trivial.
I don't think so. According to my experience with debians package
system, many such dependencies are just mistakes of the maintainers or
only cause problems in just one of many usage scenarios ("portions of
this port"), such like trying to start the whole desktop. This is why
I'm always somewhat annoyed when a package system tries to impose
dependencies against the will of an administrator. This is why I just
asked for an override, so I can try if it is really a problem.
As I understood, the gnome-desktop port is just a bunch of supporting
libraries, and I wanted to install just nautilus, which depends on
gnome-desktop, which depends on gtk3+x11. But I don't want to be forced
to use gtk3 with x11, as it's not capable of displaying hi-res-graphics
on my retina display, and I'm developing python apps based on gtk3, so I
want to use it with quartz. Would be very bad if I had to choose between
Nautilus or gtk3 with quartz.
