New description:

 At the final step of installation of gv, that is the activation,
 I met the following problem:

 {{{
 --->  Activating gv 3.5.8_0
 Error: Target com.apple.activate returned: Image error:
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults already exists and does not belong to a
 registered port.  Unable to activate port gv.
 }}}

 DP is trying to create a symbolic link /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/appdefaults
 but there is (of course!) already a directory there! I was able to
 deal with this problem by temporarily renaming this directory, and
 a few more obvious manipulations.
