Without touching on any of the other issues, yes, indeed, (a) gtk v1 is =
abandonware and (b) vim-with-defaults is one of the last major consumers =
of gtk1.

If I may be so bold, allow me to offer up an alternative.

editors/vim       -- fully functional console-only (no X11)
editors/vim-lite  -- stripped down version (again, no X11, perhaps even =
linked static for use within embedded systems)
editors/vim-gui   -- take your pick.  X11 is implied.  athena/motif =
widgets are pretty much dead, so unless there's a QT version floating =
around, GTK2.

vim is the MASTER, vim-lite slave strips stuff out of vim, vim-gui adds =
stuff to vim.  Might even be able to avoid the whole OPTIONS issue =
(which I'm purposefully not touching on here) with this kind of setup.
