I upgraded MacPorts to 1.4.3 and am having serious issues with X11.   
I have reinstalled X11User.pkg and X11SDK.pkg, and along the way  
X11Update2006.pkg.  When trying to install gnuplot I get XFree86  
listed as a dependency. Does anybody have any idea how I can fix things?

gnuplot has library dependencies on:
         expat
         fontconfig
         freetype
         gd2
         jpeg
         pdflib
         libiconv
         libpng
         ncurses
         readline
         teTeX
         XFree86
         zlib

Thanks,
George
