My theories so far:

freeciv-x11 does not declare a dependency on libggz. However it looks  
like freeciv-x11 will use libggz if present. That's the first bug  
that needs to be fixed. Either freeciv-x11 must be changed to not use  
libggz even if present, or freeciv-x11 must declare a dependency on  
libggz.

Second, libggz appears to have been built without gtk support, and  
freeciv-x11 apparently does not work with libggz without gtk support.  
That's the second bug. Either libggz must declare a dependency on  
gtk2 so that it always builds with gtk support, or there needs to be  
a variant in the libggz port to enable gtk2 support. In the interest  
of fewer variant, I assume the former is preferable.


Your workaround for now would be to deactivate libggz, clean and  
install freeciv-x11, then reactivate libggz if desired.

Third bug: It sounds like the freeciv (when built while the libggz  
port is active) and gnome-games ports conflict. It will need to be  
decided which of these two ports, if any, should be the true owner of  
${prefix}/etc/ggz.modules.
