GTK+ broken: anyone knows why?

Hello,

The GTK+ port (gtk2) is broken in multiple ways:

1. Did anything change in the base recently? It used to be that
variants chosen are passed on to dependencies as well, but it appears
that now `port install gtk2 +quartz` and `port install gtk2 +quartz
+no_x11` do different things, although the port gtk2 has "variant
quartz requires no_x11 ..." in it. That is, `port install gtk2
+quartz` installs the X11 version of pango, etc., instead of pango
+no_x11. Same with cairo.

2. After installing (`port install gtk2 +quartz +no_x11`) and
installing any GTK+ application on top of it, all windows display only
boxes; fonts don't work. This might be related to the recent changes
in cairo, or pango, or something.

I will try to debug these because I want to get this working, but was
hoping someone would have ideas.

Thanks for any help,
Shreevatsa
