I can confirm that reverting the change that disables the install of
liblcms.a and liblcms.la and rebuilding the graphics/lcms port allows
editors/koffice-kde3 to install.

ldd on PREFIX/lib/kde3/libkritagmagick{export,import}.so shows that
editors/koffice-kde3 is using the shared liblcms.so.1 library.

I have submitted PR 133856.  The patch uses --enable-static=no to
disable the install of the static library, and removes the change from
the ports Makefile that disabled the install of the static library and
liblcms.la file.
