Does Gnome take up tons of disk space? It uses some Gnome stuff.

However, your list doesn't cover all the dependencies for gnumeric itself. I'm not strapped for disk space and I want to keep it that way. I'll give this a try and see how it goes.

Gnumeric was missing a bunch of icons and the help system so I installed gnome-themes-standard and yelp which added another 1.18 GB for a total of 3.03 GB added. (I already had a bunch of stuff installed so now my MacPorts directory is 10.2 GB.)
Thanks for sharing these numbers.  Hopefully this may give some guidance 
to others who have similar concerns.

I've read the uninstall instructions for MacPorts more than once and am a little queazy that I'll do the wrong thing (dependents, dependencies), plus your suggestion above confuses me. Here's what I think I should do:

Yes, this should work and is, indeed, better than my original suggestion 
as it will not uninstall dependencies that are required by other 
installed ports.
