Comment (by dbevans):

 Just a few clarifications.

 Removing the +doc variant is truly appropriate as this port (as do most
 that use gtk-doc) have the (pregenerated) docs included as part of the
 tarball.  Thus the variant attempts to redundantly regenerate the existing
 docs (and fails).  Without the variant, the pregenerated docs are
 installed as part of the port.

 gtkspell2 is, indeed, the legacy version of gtkspell and is no longer
 being maintained.  It provides only a gtk2 compatible API.  gtkspell3 is
 the current version of gtkspell and contains APIs for both gtk2 and gtk3
 although the the gtk2 API is incompatible with gtkspell2.  So gtkspell2 is
 still necessary for gtk2 apps that use the old API (inkscape for
 instance).  Most newer apps have now moved to gtk3 so the newer gtk2 API
 is not widely used.

 Hope this is helpful
