Comment(by david@…):

 OK, I've just done an 'uninstall tree' process to see what depends on
 what.  It appears there are dependency trees as follows:
 plplot > swig > php5 > apache2 and swig > ruby

 So macports was just doing what it oughta.  It might be a good idea to
 edit the page at http://plplot.darwinports.com/ to alert people that a
 whole bunch of dependencies (big ones) need to be installed first, and
 that it could take hours.
