No, because that's the entire point of the WANT_* magic. If a user has
the bits the port wants, then they get supported, if they don't then
they just get a vanilla port, without all the bloat.
Joe, you've been doing a lot of good patches to Gnome ports. You should
read bsd.port.mk and bsd.gnome.mk and try to understand them. You'll
find that it makes fixing ports a lot simpler. If you stumble on
anything, email me. I've got a pretty good understanding of them both,
and I'll try (as best I can) to explain what the code is doing and why.
In fact, that above offer applies to anyone reading this...
Regards,
-Jeremy
