This is just a warning, so it is not the real reason why it failed.
Unknown flags are ignored with a warning.

Please run 'port -d sync' and check svn_path in
/Library/Tcl/macports1.0/macports_autoconf.tcl (or whatever you used for
--with-tclpackage).

Most probably svn_path is set to "/usr/bin/svn" triggering the "Please
get a newer Subversion client" message. This is #15868 [1] and scheduled
to be fixed in 1.7.1.
