After I failed to build pango, I tried again and get the following message:
Error: Requrested variants "+macosx" do not match original selection
"+macosx+quartz".
Please use the same variants again, perform 'port clean pango' or
specify the force option (-f).
Is it safe to use the '-f' option in this case to build pango w/o the
quartz option?
