It didn't seem like inkscape was aware that it needed boehmgc, it just failed when it didn't find it.
Thanks for clarifying though. I always thought that a devel package was a superset of the original so I would have thought that boehmgc-devel contained libgc.

I think i see the problem. inkscape had a dependency that was satisfied if boehmgc-devel is installed. I made it depend explitly on boehmgc port.
This is not a bug. You cannot expect two ports (boehmgc and boehmgc-devel (which is older) ) to be installed and active at the same time.
That inkscape depends on boehmgc and other ports (like mono) depends on boehmgc-devel is a bit annoying, but not a bug.
