Re: [new] sysutils/vifm

I think it makes sense to add it back. Comments on the port:

- we don't use subpackages just for desktop files and dependencies

- there are some checks in configure for various tools (groff, vim, git) -
everything from packages that affects the build needs to be listed as a
dependency or disabled (e.g. for groff/mandoc the right way is probably
to set MANGEN_PROG=mandoc, for vim it looks like maybe nothing is needed
because unless I missed something perl is used in preference, and perl
is always available in base)
