The file /opt/local/share/ghostscript/8.71/lib/pdf2dsc.ps is part of the port ghostscript, not part of the port gv.

What do you mean "the bug is principally known"? Known by whom? Is there an upstream bug report? If so where? Where did this patch come from? Is this an upstream fix? If you invented this patch yourself, have you already reported it to the developers of ghostscript?
