looking at the bento errorlogs will open your eyes ;)

http://bento.freebsd.org/errorlogs/4-full-logs/xmms-1.2.5_1.log

xmms possible names are xmms, xmms-esound and xmms-gnome.

since WITH_GNOME isn't used at bento build time, it cannot be xmms-gnome.
WITH_ESOUND seems to be defined somewhere (/etc/make.conf I suppose), so
xmms is built w/ esound support ans is named xmms-esound instead of
xmms (w/o esound support). and xmms-esound exists in the pre-build
packages.

about gnome ans derivated, I've just understand why gnome depends
on sawfish-gnome while only sawfish lives as a pre-build package.
see the following URL for details :

http://bento.freebsd.org/errorlogs/4-full-logs/gnome-1.4.1b2.log

gnome build install sawfish cleanly but record sawfish-gnome as
a dependence. same assertion about rep-gtk vs. rep-gtk-gnome.
IMHO, this is not fair :^)

would it be possible to build every packages w/ different options ?
such as running /usr/ports/Tools/portbuild/scripts/portbuild or
whatever w/ WITH_ALL, then WITH_GNOME, then WITH_ESOUND, etc. ?
since package naming depend these variables...
