BTW, I notice that grass7 indirectly depends on font-config.  font-config has a 
post-activate step that initializes the font cache.  When you build a mpkg or 
mdmg, such post-activate steps are never run.  The font-config port should be 
modified to include a postinstall script that the installer will automatically 
run.   

I noticed this some months ago but various events have conspired to keep me 
from doing anything about it.  Such scripts run in a sandbox.  I don’t know if 
that creates a complication in this case or not.

You should probably check the rest of grass7’s rdeps for other uses of 
post-activate.
