I'm pretty sure that the problem is that gd2 and gd2-nox11 cannot be  
active simultaneously due to requiring files with identical names to  
be placed in identical locations.  If Port Authority has an option to  
execute port verbosely or with debug output, you should be able to  
see that in the log.  To fix this, just deactivate gd2-nox11 before  
installing gd2.

Kind regards,
