goffice. I suspect that my use of gnumeric will be experimental and then light
if at all so I would abandon this idea if it takes a lot of space. I'm looking
at the gnome stuff and recalling that it might be huge. Is this correct?

Hi, Jerry.
Define tons.
goffice and its dependencies are absolutely required (this is the bulk
of the dependencies).
gobject-introspection could be made optional (provides ability for
Python and others languages to dynamically generate bindings to
libspreadsheet)
gnome-common and gnome-doc-utils are build dependencies and are not
necessary once the port is installed (they are relatively small)
desktop-file-utils provides a utility to register gnumeric's .desktop
file in the desktop file database and is not necessary after
installation. (also small)
If you have any other GNOME apps (actually GTK+ apps) installed, you
should have most of these installed already as they are commonly used in
that environment.
Using otool, I can see that the ssconvert utility, itself, links with
libraries provided by the following ports:
atk
cairo
fontconfig
freetype
gdk-pixbuf2
gettext
glib2
gnumeric
goffice
gtk3
libgsf
libxml2
pango
This is basically gtk3 and dependencies plus goffice and gnumeric.
Unless you are really strapped for disk space, I would go ahead, build
gnumeric and see what the additional disk space is. I don't think it
would be too
much extra but then I have ALL the GNOME ports installed. But if you
only have a few command line utilities installed from MacPorts you might
think it's a lot! Reality is probably somewhere in between. Your
calibration may vary! :-).
At any rate, you can remove it and its dependencies fairly easily if you
decide it's not what you want.
sudo port -f uninstall gnumeric rdepof:gnumeric
