But on gentoo e.g. I could specify not to install certain deps. Is there a way to do this for macports?

Hi there,

ever since I use macports I notice that it tries very often to install
Xorg along with ports that actually don't need it. Today I tried to
install trac and again ... Xorg. I can't even remember the numerous other trials I <Ctrl-C>ed because of Xorg. I'm surprised that I can install nmap
without Xorg...

So what is this? Is there a way to spot it?

trac uses python26 (since trac is python-based), and python26 needs tk which
is where the xorg stuff originates.  See

<http://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#WhyisMacPortsusingitsownlibraries>

and

Many Thanks,
