The current version of yelp breaks if scrollkeeper is installed. This
is a deliberate decision on the upstream maintainers of that package
for the GNOME project. They provide a package called rarian that is a
drop-in replacement for scrollkeeper with extended capabilities to
support internationalization needs, as scrollkeeper has not been
updated by its maintainers for a few years now.

Did you perhaps bother to read the notes in the scrollkeeper port when
it aborts the installation,  or bother to my original reply to your
message. The port named "rarian" is the port you want to use. Every
port that did depend on scrollkeeper (or on a port that depended on
scrollkeeper) no w depends on the port named "rarian" (or on a port
that depends on "rarian").

Every problem you list is the result of not having the port named
"rarian" installed. The scrollkeeper port is explicit: you should use
the port rarian instead of it.
