A search turned up only 3 ports:
brethen-mbp:Downloads marbre$ port search --depends Coin
Quarter @1.0.0_5 (graphics, devel)
integrates Coin and Qt
SoQt @1.5.0 (graphics, devel)
SoQt is a Qt GUI component toolkit library for Coin.
SoXt @1.2.2_2 (x11, graphics, devel)
Xt/Motif glue library for Coin
Found 3 ports.
SoXt is a GUI binding for using Open Inventor with Xt/Motif and has been
developed for use with Coin and the "ancient" qt4-x11. Any reason to keep it
around?
By default, Coin, SoQt and Quarter are set up as Mac OS X framework. I think
these ports should do the same. If you can think of a very good reason to
install them as non-framework, that should be a variant.
