Thanks. I would have filed a ticket but I was just running out the  
door so I just sent an email.

FYI, you should not increase the revision for changes of this kind.  
Either the user was unable to build the port at all (like me, since I  
was on Tiger and thus did not (and could not) have Xcode 3), or the  
user was able to build the port, in which case forcing them to  
rebuild now serves no purpose. If the files the port installs, or the  
port's dependencies, haven't changed, then there's usually no reason  
to increase the revision. Don't decrease it again now, but do keep it  
in mind for the future to keep your users from having to rebuild  
unnecessarily.
