Yves, great, I'll see if I can get the Portfile to use gnupg2 instead of gnupg. Is the kerberos5 MacPort not really used much by anyone now? I see that Apple now includes a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) in Mac OS X Server (I think starting with 10.3 - Panther) which might suffice for most people, although some of the MacPorts can be built with the "kerberos" variant which then indeed depends on the kerberos5 MacPort having been installed. I see there is also an implementation of Kerberos which is available in MacPorts as the heimdal port. Do most in the MacPorts community now have a preference for the heimdal port over the kerberos5 port?
I've a preference for the Heimdal implementation. Compare Heimdal:http://www.securityfocus.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi? o=0&l=30&c=12&op=display_list&vendor=Heimdal&version=&title=&CVE=
vs MIT Kerberos:http://www.securityfocus.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi? o=0&l=30&c=12&op=display_list&vendor=MIT&version=&title=Kerberos% 205&CVE= http://www.securityfocus.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi? o=0&l=30&c=12&op=display_list&vendor=MIT&version=&title=Kerberos% 204&CVE=
As for gnupg vs gnupg2, both branches are still maintained; gnupg 1.x is -- for now -- probably a safer and more conservative choice.
