Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 snc@…]:
 > Is there an advantage to using pre-configure over pre-fetch?
 No; there is an advantage to using pre-fetch, namely that the distfile is
 not fetched unnecessarily.

 Revised the message in r56938 using the strategy I previously employed in
 graphviz-gui.

 These commits don't fix the problem, they just tells the user the port
 doesn't work on 10.6 or later. Upstream has not updated this software in
 almost seven years so I'm not holding my breath for a new version to fix
 this issue. But if they do release one, we can change the port then.
