It's not going to happen on x11/gnome2 or x11/gnome2-fifth-toe. But as Joe said, you are welcome to create your own meta-port. > Why do I have to build and install galeon, epiphany, balsa when I > am happy with mozilla?

It's feature, if you want the gnome2-fifth-toe then you will have those apps. If you don't, then pick apps in the ports what you want to install instead or even better create your own meta-port. As for epiphany, it's part of Gnome so you should take the deal with the Gnome devlopers/teams over at www.gnome.org.. Mezz > Uli. -- bsdforums.org 's moderator, mezz.
