Recently, I spent some time trying to understand why Pidgin spell check
wasn't working.  I'm primarily a KDE4 user, but pidgin has some plugins I
use.  textproc/aspell is a dependency of the KDE stuff and it's pkg-descr
indicates it should be exactly what pidgin is looking for.  Unfortunately
this not the case.

With a suggestion from marcus@, I installed textproc/en-aspell.  This
worked to resolve the issue for me, however this is the pkg-descr for the
ports:

Aspell English dictionaries.

Note: if you have installed textproc/aspell, English dictionaries have
already
      been installed; this port is only useful if you had previously
installed
      textproc/aspell-without-dicten.

This state has left me confused.  Can anyone explain what is going on here?
 Is there something wrong with the structure of these ports?
