Ghostscript-gnu is installed. Unfortunately, LOCALBASE is /usr/opt,
and the port apparently doesn't change the default locations that it
looks for fonts to include LOCALBASE/share/fonts.
I fixed this problem - well, mostly - by adding a fontDir line top
~/.xpdfdir that points to a collection of commercial fonts that
include the 14 base fonts. xpdf complains about not being able to find
the fonts, but renders pages properly anyway.
