 `texinfo` port.  Therefore I suggest seeing whether `texinfo` can be
 substituted for the `groff` dependency in `openldap`.

 My hasty mistake, sorry.  Now I see that your previous suggestion of
 [https://ports.macports.org/port/heirloom-doctools/ heirloom-doctools] is
 a good candidate.  I also find [https://ports.macports.org/port/mandoc/
 mandoc].  Both are current ports in Macports.  Both are extremely
 lightweight, and both provide `soelim` for possible replacement of `groff`
 as a `wget` dependency.  I would try `mandoc` first since it seems to be
 more recently maintained, and builds are working better.
