some progress is better as none, ins't it?
I just wondered that you had issues on packages that work for me.

Does gimp start and work for you? do you use X11 or quartz variant?

I am forced to write some scripts in order to activate/inactivate dependencies in order to switch between using those ports and those that need the most recent icu.  I can't think of a better way of doing it.

Recent ICU has a breakage beyond macports, e.g. it broke ArcticFox, 
apparently >= 76 break things compared to <= 74...

well.. best is to work one after the other!

Although in case of Qt58 it might be checked if it is a decently slvable 
issue or you might want - temporarily - to overlay an older version and 
see if that is the only major blocker!

long live 10.9 :)
