Comment (by vallon):

 I don't know what the expectation is here, but it seems that my mkfontdir
 is installed but inactive.  Not sure how it got that way.  port upgrade
 had trouble with conflicting /opt/local/bin/mkfontdir.

 It isn't clear to me why it thinks font-adobe-100dpi depends on mkfontdir.

 I would guess "uninstall -f" might fix this, but just wondering whether
 this broken-state should have resolved itself automatically.
