You are right, thanks for found this out and I will send the PR to update www/linux-opera7 by remove the depend on libpng. I am the maintainer for linux-opera7 and will be on linux-opera when nork isn't busy.. I will have to email and ask nork if he's not busy anymore, so linux-opera7 can merge into linux-opera. des will let me to take over the maintainer job for linux-opera, which he already approved me.
