Comment(by jjstickel@…):

 I'm sorry, but I can't do any more testing right now.  I have no reason to
 use vtk-devel (vtk-5.4) over vtk5 (vtk-5.2).

 To be honest, I don't understand why so much complexity is needed in the
 vtk-devel Portfile.  The vtk-devel Portfile is 27 kb whereas the vtk5
 Portfile is only 6 kb.  Another thing I just noticed is that the installed
 libraries with vtk-devel are an order of magnitude larger in size compared
 to vtk5.  For example, libvtkCommon.5.4.dylib is 27.1 MB compared to just
 3.8 MB for libvtkCommon.5.2.1.dylib.  Must be related to the compile
 options.  Are debug symbols being included?  Is this intentional?
