enchant: make aspell dependency optional

Description

When I tried to upgrade to the most recent evince @2.32.0, MacPorts attempts to install aspell. However, I already have ispell installed, which conflicts with aspell. Is it possible to make aspell optional? I would like to update to the latest evince without uninstalling ispell.

aspell isn't actually a direct dependency of evince; it's a recursive dependency pulled in like this:

Local-Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ ericgallager$ port rdeps evince
The following ports are dependencies of evince @2.32.0_0+universal:
...
 yelp
    webkit-gtk
 ...
      enchant
        aspell

So the dependency actually comes from enchant. enchant's description says:

all it really does is to \
provide a uniform wrapper over several popular spell checking libraries \
including aspell, ispell and AppleSpell.

so you'd think it'd be able to work with either... Would a path:bin/ispell:aspell type dependency work?
