Martin,
Of course you could revisit the feasibility of adding x11 packages
starting with 10.6 and requiring them for 10.6 or later. Jeremy swears
he is religiously committing his X11 changes upstream so that most of
the x11 packaging on MacPorts are simple Portfiles building the associated
stock tarballs. If that is really true, it might be just a matter of
creating the info files and wiring the builds up to use them.
