ImageMagick is a pretty heavy dependency, but I do see code in pango that does use it at runtime under certain conditions. Anyone know what those conditions are? On my system, pango-view works without ImageMagick installed, but I did not select pango's no_x11 or quartz variants.

pango cannot depend on ImageMagick because ImageMagick can depend on pango (via a variant: see #34231) and that would cause a circular dependency which MacPorts does not support. Pango users wishing to use ImageMagick-based features of pango should manually install the ImageMagick port.
