 Thanks for your request, Craig.  I ported the existing ports you mention
 as dependencies of inkscape.

 If you are of such a mind, the surest way to get these new ones included
 is to take a shot at putting together one or more preliminary Portfiles
 yourself. You can use one of the existing Portfiles as a guide and submit
 them here for review and approval.  We can always use a new maintainer and
 I and the other maintainers would be happy to give you a hand to get
 started.

 If these libraries are similar to the ones I've already done, they would
 make good starter projects and, of course, its always a plus to have a
 maintainer who has an interest in putting the ports to good use himself.

 What do you think?

 Dave
