Comment (by mojca@…):

 I attached root-devel.cmake.Portfile as a preliminary Portfile for the
 trunk version of Root based on CMake. Known issues:
   * MacPorts automatically adds {{{-arch x86_64}}} for Fortran. See
 #37732. This prevents compilation altogether. I should probably mimick
 plplots unless the bug gets fixed some time soon.
   * It is obligatory to select +gcc4X to set up gfortran (it won't change
 the C/C++ compiler since Chris claims that it doesn't work and I didn't
 try it out: there are enough problems with other issues already). Using
 g95 requires some trivial patch to remove a flag.
   * (I didn't yet figure out how to avoid Fortran altogether.)
   * It uses an unofficial GitHub clone since it's a pain to develop a port
 based on SVN (each change requires a new svn checkout). This is temporary
 and easy to fix.
   * It doesn't implement all options yet, but it should implement the
 default ones at least. The highest on priority list should be fixing
 Python variants.
   * I'm not yet sure how to link against
 {{{/opt/local/lib/libpng.dylib}}}. It always finds the library from
 {{{/usr}}}.
 Nevertheless I would be grateful for feedback, in particular as soon as
 the first issue is dealt with.
