 > Does this require pstricks to be installed? A (la)tex binary?  What is
 the preferred port to install if tex cannot be found? texlive_base?

 From what I know, the package `texlive_base` is not sufficient to use
 sketch.  `port info texlive_base` reports that only binaries are installed
 by that package.  I would suggest the port `texlive` as a dependency,
 which most certainly contains the PSTricks package.  I'm just 99% sure
 because I use a texlive system installed outside the MacPorts tree.
 That's why I didn't include `texlive` unconditionally as a dependency.

 While testing the Portfile, I tried
 {{{
 depends_run       bin:latex:texlive
 }}}
 to test for any existing latex distribution.  I was not able to make it
 work properly.  I need help for that.  Ending up with two huge latex
 distributions just for installing sketch through MacPorts is not my idea
 of a good deal.

 A MacPorts user can optionally install the package `pgf` for using some
 functionalities of `sketch`.  I'm not sure about the MacPorts policy about
 that.  Make it into a variant?

 > Also, I think that some of the xinstall lines are done by default (e.g.,
 creating ${prefix}/bin).

 Absolutely right.  Both `${prefix}/bin` and `${prefix}/share/info` are
 already created.  Here is a patch file removing two lines from the first
 Portfile.
