This won;t work as you expect: since there's a dependency on ghc,
the ports version of ghc will be installed. (No, it doesn't behave
like BSD ports, and can't: breaking "base", which is outside of
their control, could have severe consequences, so it doesn't simply
accept installed versions of programs.)
I'm not sure what you are saying here: installing MacPorts Gtk does
not cause its GHC to be installed, nor does it bind to it.
The way it works with Gnat, is that there is a GtkAda package which
binds to Gtk, and the paths of this package must be set to whatever
Gtk one is using. Using an external Gnat binding to MacPorts Gtk works
just fine. As for the Intel Gtk package that binds to to Aqua, it is
integrated with the Xcode GCC. So one must do some extra tweaking there.
