That works if you install all in one go:


$ port install caml-unit
--->  Fetching caml-ounit
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for caml-ounit
--->  Extracting caml-ounit
--->  Configuring caml-ounit
--->  Building caml-ounit
--->  Staging caml-ounit into destroot
--->  Installing caml-ounit @1.0.2_0
--->  Activating caml-ounit @1.0.2_0
--->  Cleaning caml-ounit
$


But not if you break it up into two steps:


$ port extract caml-unit
--->  Fetching caml-ounit
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for caml-ounit
--->  Extracting caml-ounit
$ port install caml-unit
Error: Target org.macports.patch returned: can't read  
"ocaml_site_path": no such variable
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
$


I think you need to set the ocaml_site_path variable within each  
phase that uses it.
