I see * MAINTAINER is ports@. Does that mean I can do the fix myself? Yes, but there is a reason why there is no ghostscript dependency. There are many versions of ghostscripts in the tree (three each for English and Japanese, and two for Korean) and we don't want a package dependency to wipe out what the user has already installed. (This is mentioned in hylafax's Makefile.) The proper "fix" is to add a script that checks for the existence of gs and tell users to install the version they want.
