I got this error once because I had a  ghostscript nox port installed. 
Actually, I think I had two versions simultaneously, one of which was a nox 
version (not sure how that happened). Anyway I deinstalled the offending 
version and fixed the depedencies, (I may also have forced a rebuild) and it 
worked.
