Okay thanks!  I fixed the problem.  In the process, I found that 
Portfile keywords now require a preceding blank line, is this correct?

When I edit a portfile, I usually comment out a line and replace it on 
the next line.  This practice was acceptable at least through macports 
v2.6.2.  I guess the portfile parser was updated since then, although 
from skimming the macports-base changelog, I do not see a related 
commit.  Anyway, could the lint option check for this condition?
