It depends. If the port is a dependency of another port, you either need to create master and slave ports (e.g. mozilla and mozilla-gtk2) or create two distinct ports (e.g. gnet and gnet-glib2). If the port is standalone, you can use one port, and have a WITH_[GTK|GNOME]2 knob. >=20 > >Given that GNOME 2 is becoming much more mature, I think it's time we > >ditch the GNOME 1 desktop. > > > That's exactly what I'm trying to do, so you certainly have my vote ;) This will definitely cause some moans and groans.

Some maintainers might not like this, but you can certainly try. Note, we will not be yanking out GNOME 1 and GTK+-1 libraries. Ports such as ethereal, vim, anjuta, etc. will still work. We will just be removing the desktop components.
