Is there a particular reason why the use of devel/ncurses was made
mandatory?  The 256 colour support in devel/ncurses is optional and
disabled by default, so this doesn't seem to have any effect unless
you build devel/ncurses with non-standard options.  OTOH, installing
devel/ncurses has the downside that, once installed, all ports are
forced to be built with it and it has a number of downsides compared
to the base ncurses (the excessive use of "alternate screen" is my pet
hatred and I've just spent several hours tracking down why my newly
built mutt was "broken").
