Comment (by ryandesign at macports.org):

 Note these important changes from CHANGES.183 which will affect how the
 port works:

 The configure phase is now handled by autoconf:

 {{{
 Version 1.8.3 patchlevel 2                      May 16, 2007

 Major changes:
   * configuration is now done by autoconf. ./Configure is
     now ./configure and its options have changed. See
     INSTALL and ./configure --help [SW]
 }}}

 A build dependency on a perl port will be needed:

 {{{
 Version 1.8.3 patchlevel 4                      July 9, 2007

 Major changes:
   * Parts of the build process that used a shell script to regenerate
     certain headers now use perl scripts instead, making them much
     faster. [SW]
 }}}

 A library dependency on the pcre port will be needed:

 {{{
 Version 1.8.3 patchlevel 6                      Jan 01, 2008

 Major changes:
  * If configure finds a copy of the pcre library installed, that will
    be used instead of the (old) version bundled with Penn. use
    --with-pcre=/path/to/it if it's not in the usual places, or
    --with-pcre=no to force use of the bundled version.
 }}}

 I am working on a patch to update the port.
