I've never tried the `lilypond' port; the `lilypond-devel' port was
updated by me (and I still maintain it)

I don't think so.  All information is in the Portfile, I believe.

However, the package dependencies are not perfectly set up (and I
don't have time right now to work on it): The categorization into
needed build-only, run-only, and build-run packages is not fully
correct.  For directly using lilypond-devel this is of no importance,
but for creating binary tarballs it makes a big difference.
