 Interesting. In other words, You want to make port:pTeX a meta-port,
 right? :-)

 I know beginners prefer meta-ports. But on the other hand, power-users may
 dislike such a "kichen sink" approach..

 (For instance, some power-users may be using their own ghostscript7,
 not MacPorts' gs8. Because the pdfwrite device in gs8 cannot typeset
 Japanese vertical text yet. Ironically, oldish gs7.07 with CJK patch
 can do it well.)

 Therefore, I think it is better to provide other ways too not to install
 unneeded
 components, like the following patch.

 Any ideas?
