It will make sure that all ports that have +x11 +quartz variants will
build as requested.    This is the preferred approach if you don't want to
install any X11 ports at all which is a good idea if you're interested
in quartz.  Mixing x11 ports with quartz ones will result in problems if
they have any common dependencies that only support one variant or the
other.

In the case of gnucash,  it automatically builds either +quartz or +x11
depending on the version of gtk2 installed so it doesn't have any +x11
+quartz variants.  To make it build +quartz make sure all of its
dependents that have +quartz or -x11 variants are built that way.  The
ones to look for are

gtk2 +quartz
cairo +quartz
pango +quartz
gdk-pixbuf2 -x11

If you see any xorg-* ports being installed you know you are in trouble.

I've just committed a change to gnucash in r120699 that disables the
dependency on yelp if +quartz is set.  This should get you past the
libcanberra issue (as far as webkit-gtk anyway) when trying to build
+quartz.
