Comment(by bgrupe@…):

 This auto-detection is exactly my problem, since you have no way of
 knowing beforehand if this port will work with +quartz or not.

 Please consider the situation of a clean macports install and just typing
 in "port install gnome +quartz+no_x11". It will compile many things
 successfully before failing at configuring bug-buddy.

 Now there's no other way than to uninstall the whole GTK2 stack and
 reinstall it without quartz support if you want a working gnome port.

 Some ports even have have broken configure scripts (like the linked
 libcanberra bug) and just fail seemingly randomly at compiling.
