In most of the cases where we explicitly require +x11 in gtk2 or gtk3
the problem is that the software includes an x11-specific header in gtk
that does not exist on a +quartz installation.
This is a problem that should be fixed by the developers of the software,
MacPorts just represents the current state.
That being said, remove the require_active_variants line from the
Portfile to disable the check.
