Comment (by mbarchfe at googlemail.com):

 > `port lint` has the following suggestions about your Portfile:
 sorry, should have run that beforehand. Attached is a cleaned file.
 > The whitespace notices aren't so important and will probably be removed
 from `port lint` anyway, but the others are relevant. Variants should have
 descriptions explaining their use, and we don't have a category "gis".
 Perhaps the port would fit into one of the existing categories.
 Where can I find out about valid categories? According to
 http://www.macports.org/ports.php ther is a gis category.

 > Further comments from me:
 >
 >  * You don't wish to be the maintainer of this port?
 Actually I hoped I could throw this over the fence and get away with it
 ;-). But if being the maintainer means I can directly submit changes to
 the Portfile that would be fine with me.
 >  * It looks like the variant "wms" doesn't do anything so it should be
 removed.
 It adds a necessary dependency for wms. I wanted this category just to
 make it explicit.
 >  * In the destroot phase you should use `xinstall` instead of `system
 "install"`.
 Fixed.
 >  * With regard to your comment on setting the cgi_path, this project is
 called MacPorts. It hasn't been called DarwinPorts in 16 months. :-)
 Sorry, I am new to Mac and this does not mean much to me.
 >  * `extract.suffix .tar.gz` is unnecessary; that's the default.
 Removed.
