Unfortunately, the portfile states that "portions of this port are X11 specific so a +quartz build is not possible." I don't know the specifics, but I'm guessing it's not trivial.
I don't think so. According to my experience with debians package system, many such dependencies are just mistakes of the maintainers or only cause problems in just one of many usage scenarios ("portions of this port"), such like trying to start the whole desktop. This is why I'm always somewhat annoyed when a package system tries to impose dependencies against the will of an administrator. This is why I just asked for an override, so I can try if it is really a problem.
As I understood, the gnome-desktop port is just a bunch of supporting libraries, and I wanted to install just nautilus, which depends on gnome-desktop, which depends on gtk3+x11. But I don't want to be forced to use gtk3 with x11, as it's not capable of displaying hi-res-graphics on my retina display, and I'm developing python apps based on gtk3, so I want to use it with quartz. Would be very bad if I had to choose between Nautilus or gtk3 with quartz.
