However, I found the section of the configure script (in /psl) that downloads the binaries from www.zib.de. You mentioned patching the file, so where would you put this? The part of the configure script follows:

Then find the distfile and add it to the MacPorts distfiles variable so MacPorts will fetch it, and add checksums for it to the checksums variable. Decide whether MacPorts should try to decompress this file itself; if not, set "extract.only" to list only the files MacPorts should decompress. In post-extract, you may need to move either the compressed file or the uncompressed result to the place where the configure script wants it to be.

The contents of the xport.pat are as follows:

----------
# This file is used by Arthur Norman to help him synchronize a copy of
# his own private copy of the Reduce tree with copies in (virtual) machines
# where he is checking things. It is probably not relevant to anybody else,
# but life is made much easier for ACN if it is visible here!

Can you make anything of this in terms of where the dist file is?
