There is another possibility I use for
  https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/gnuplot/trunk/Makefile
There is a base package with basic dependencies and a more features one like
  gnuplot_wx
which has alternatives with higher priority which only contains the more enhanced
binaries. You can depend and run the basic one and the more featurefull is used
when installed.


Best regards
