Comment(by mcalhoun@…):

 Replying to [comment:19 jmr@…]:
 > I think the command you want is `subst`. But I don't know why you'd be
 getting an empty string and not an error.

 I was not able to get subst to work.[[BR]]
 Attached is a first attempt to correct the problem.[[BR]]
 I know it's not pretty, but it was the only thing I could get to work.

 The x11prefix (and eventually frameworks_dir and applications_dir) won't
 do anything without a modification to portindex.
