This definitely looks like a case of an unlisted dependency -- the
emboss port lists no dependencies at all, but seems to depend on at
least libX11. In fact, though I know absolutely nothing about emboss,
it looks like it probably has a lot more dependencies too.

Actually... this is exactly ticket #22907, isn't it?
