Comment(by tobsimon@…):

 Right. I'm happy about the doc variant. Thanks a lot.

 About libX11. I wasn't aware of the ploth function (since I use pari as a
 library) and had to try it. The good news is, pari has no problem using
 the libX11 shipped with OS X.
 {{{
 $ otool -L /opt/local/bin/gp
 /opt/local/bin/gp:
         /opt/local/lib/libreadline.6.1.dylib (compatibility version 6.0.0,
 current version 6.1.0)
         /opt/local/lib/libncurses.5.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0,
 current version 5.0.0)
         /usr/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current
 version 9.0.0)
         /opt/local/lib/libgmp.10.dylib (compatibility version 11.0.0,
 current version 11.1.0)
         /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
 version 125.0.0)
 }}}
 Since the MacPorts Guide recommends to install X11, I think it is safe to
 assume, that there is an libX11 present and thus the dependency on xorg-
 libX11 can still be dropped.

 To solve such ambiguities there really should be some sort of
 representation in MacPorts (like a dummy package) for available libraries
 and binaries such as texlive, X11, perl, java.
