Err, actually, I'm smoking crack.  eps2png was originally added on
February 20th...

   Add graphics/eps2png and graphics/netpbm as dependencies.  These are
   required in order to process the graphics.

However, it was removed and replaced with peps on July 13th...

   Depend on peps instead of eps2png -- peps produces better output (inc.
   anti-aliasing) than eps2png.  Bump PORTREVISION accordingly.

How old is your doc tree?  It shouldn't even be using eps2png anymore,
but peps instead.
