That did it. I did:

$ sudo vi  /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf
(comment the added lines)
$ sudo port uninstall --follow-dependents cairo
$ sudo port uninstall --follow-dependents dubs

That did clean pretty much everything listed above. Then, finally:
$ sudo port install gnucash +without_hbci +without_quotes

And it did build a gnucash that apparently works fine. It’s not “native” and still opens the XQuartz, but it works just fine. The last question is: Is there a way to make a “clickable” app from it, so I don’t need to open a terminal every time?

After the webkit-gtk issue is resolved, will it be possible to install a version that does not require the XQuartz window to open? 

Thanks a lot!
Gustavo.
