Comment (by petr@…):

 Any news on this? Is the maintainer still active?

 The only thing I see is that the `vtk-devel` port has some extra variants.
 Are any of these interesting? Are they working properly? Should we try to
 port some of these to the ``vtk5` port? At least the `+mpi` mibht be
 interesting but may require some work. And there is ticket #35402,
 requesting Java bindings for `vtk5` which is `+java` in `vtk-devel`.

 Also (but somewhat OT): I'd say the `+python2.` variants would be better
 implemented as `py2.` subports. But I guess, this should go into a
 separate ticket.
