I made the change but I get an error when building:

$ sudo port install mapserver
--->  Fetching mapserver
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for mapserver
--->  Extracting mapserver
--->  Applying patches to mapserver
--->  Configuring mapserver
--->  Building mapserver with target all
--->  Staging mapserver into destroot
Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: can't read "cgi_path":  
no such variable
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I'm not sure how to fix it. I'm attaching my Portfile.
