New description:

 Up to date port installation.  E.g., xfig works correctly.  But gv does
 not.

 {{{
 AeroNew:~ ojohns$ gv ~/Desktop/body-cone-earth.eps
 }}}

 produces panel labeled
 {{{
 GHOSTSCRIPT MESSAGES
 }}}
 with the text:


 {{{
 Unknown device: x11
   ./base/gsicc_manage.c:1126: gsicc_open_search(): Could not find
 default_gray.icc
 | ./base/gsicc_manage.c:1754: gsicc_set_device_profile(): cannot find
 device profile
 Unrecoverable error: unknownerror in .special_op
 Operand stack:
     defaultdevice
 Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstallpagedevice
 Operand stack:
     defaultdevice
 }}}

 Then gv program comes up, but with empty display.  Attempts to OPEN the
 eps file from
 within gv result in the same message as above.

Comment:

 I can't exactly reproduce that on my system. If ghostscript is installed
 with the x11 variant, gs opens eps files just fine for me. If ghostscript
 is installed without the x11 variant, then gs displays just a watch cursor
 when trying to open eps files.

 So I would suggest if ghostscript is installed without the x11 variant,
 try reinstalling it with the x11 variant.

 {{{
 sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants ghostscript +x11
 }}}
