Well, for one thing, it's the way master/slave ports work.
Many slave ports just set a flag (like WITH_GTK2). If
you already have this flag enabled in make.conf the
two ports are effectively identical.

In general, such slave ports only appear because of
the inflexibilities of the ports system. Their presence is
not really a Bad Thing in the absence of a better
solution.
