Scientific users don’t care the internal/policy of the package manager.
What they need is a quick way to install the ports they need.
The installation should be preferably automatic.
is the problem mainly fftw-3?
Is there some reason why it can't be split into multiple ports so that the
existing dependency management can work the way it is supposed to?
A lot of projects simply aren't built in a way that would allow that.
The whole package (library, whatever) needs to be configured once with
all the options, and built once. sub ports for the additional features
simply aren't a option in main (most, I would bet) cases.
