I also think it should display dvi files too. (I also packaged evince for
gs and dvi support but someone else committed to pkgsrc first.)
Please see:

It probably should depend on ghostscript; are there any other packages
like this that use gs but don't depend on it?
And maybe someone (or myself) can add the extra dvi support package for
evince.
