 So I made some tests again and found that the problems with kst are 
 quite similar to my problems with mbdyn (pr: ports/114805).
 In this case the problem is quite weird:
 
 To disable automatic recognition of cdf and netcdf, when the user 
 installs kst without enabling the corresponding options, the Makefile.in 
 of the datasources-dir gets patched to not include the subdir of the 
 named feature. So if we want to install both of them, we get the 
 problem, that Makefile.in doesn't get patched and the original 
 distributed Makrfile.in is older than Makefile.am and so gmake runs an 
 automake-process which results in a Makefile which does not include all 
 the subdirs of datasources and not all plugins/libs are installed 
 =>pkg_plist gets broken, if both cdf and netcdf are enabled. So this is 
 not a problem of cdf.
 
 I described a similar problem in the problem report for mbdyn and asked 
 how somethiung like this should be solved, but I got no answer. I can 
 think of some dirty work arounds but I think there must be an 
 elegant/right way to fix this. Do you have any suggestions?
 
 Maybe I should open a thread on the ports-mailinglist?
 
 Thanks and greetings,
 Kay
