Comment(by frankalahan@…):

 Hi, I think I still have a problem!

 when I do
 port install gtk2 +no_x11

 I see cariro and pango being, installed and then gtk2 starts building,
 which fails. To fix this I have to do:

 port uninstall pango
 port uninstall cairo

 port install pango +no_x11 +quartz
 port install cairo +no_x11 +quartz

 port install gtk2 +no_x11

 ... and then this works!

 The problem is, that port install gtk2 +no_x11 will not work from a fresh
 install (whith no other ports installed)
