If it works on both then neither ports/x11 nor ports/wayland seem a
good choice of directory. ports/misc to match redshift would make the
most sense to me (additionally listing wayland and x11 in CATEGORIES),
it doesn't really feel like particularly graphics-related software to
me..

Does it run ok if Gtk+3 is not installed?

WANTLIB is in a weird place in Makefile, as someone who does WANTLIB
sweeps across the tree from time to time keeping this standard would
be appreciated.

Is the license GPL v3 only or v3+?

I don't see a reason to drop redshift, that will at least mean people
using it would need to rewrite .xsession, possibly on a bunch of machines.
