Good news that inkscape was ported to gtkmm-2.4 and therefore port will be available for 4.x systems. Bad news is that they started to use evil technology called boehm-gc to solve memory leaks and ironically it makes opposite thing on FreeBSD. So the only show stopper ATM is broken garbage collector and I trying to fix it ATM. If there will be big demand I can upload patch set but IMHO inkscape in it current shape is not much useful for serious work unless you going to restart it every half an hour. All the best, Alexander.
