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...
