Comment:

 Has duplicate #43507 which notes version 26 is available in the meantime.

 A dependency on xorg-server should not be added. It's up to the user to
 install whatever X server they want to use (or even to use an X server on
 another machine). Dependencies on individual X libraries the port links
 with should be added, of course.

 Why was configure.compiler set to "gcc"? That's almost always wrong, and
 contrary to the intentions expressed in UsingTheRightCompiler. Usually the
 compiler should be left at the default value. If the default compiler
 (clang, in current versions of OS X) does not compile this program, the
 program's code should be fixed. If that's not possible, clangs can be
 blacklisted by using "compiler.blacklist *clang*", however if this program
 uses C++ code that will be problematic for users on Mavericks or later;
 see wiki:FAQ#libcpp.

 "system" should not be used when equivalent MacPorts tcl commands exist.
 In this case, instead of using "system" to run "cp -r", use the MacPorts
 tcl "copy" command.
