If there's no pressing reason, i'd love to see this go in as
print/ghostscript. (Why was this print/ghostscript5 in the first place?) 

One thing: gs5 has a BUILD_DEPENDS on jpeg to use it's sources. Can we
make that go away, and depend on a full installed jpeg package instead of
fiddling with the pkg's private parts? Would help in unifying *DEPENDS
syntax... :)
