Comment(by dr2chase@…):

 MORE:

 First, I have no idea how to undo the steps I am about to suggest.  So
 maybe you don't want to do them, or maybe you want to do some more
 research.  It says this software is unmaintained, maybe I am volunteering.

 To workaround this bug, download arts, and as root (sudo bash)
 {{{
 cd /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/arts
 mkdir safe
 cp *.bz2 safe
 mkdir work
 cp *.bz2 work
 cd work
 bunzip2 *.bz2
 for i in *.tar ; do
 tar xf $i
 end
 }}}

 You then need to edit both copies of cvs.sh, fixing the lines for
 autoconf, autoheader, and automake,
  more or less like so:
 {{{
   Autoconf*2.5* | autoconf*2.5* | Autoconf*2.6* | autoconf*2.6* ) : ;;
   Autoconf*2.5* | autoheader*2.5*  | Autoconf*2.6* | autoheader*2.6*  ) :
 ;;
   automake*1.5* | automake*1.5-* | automake*1.6.* | automake*1.7*  |
 automake*1.8*  | automake*1.9*  | automake*1.10*  | automake*1.11* ) : ;;
 }}}

 This is not a robust fix, but it will get you to the next step.
 Retar and re-bzip2 the files:
 {{{
 tar cvf arts-1.1.2.tar arts-1.1.2
 tar cf kde-admindir-20030601.tar admin
 bzip2 *.tar
 cp *.bz2 ..
 }}}

 Attempt to install (it will fail):
 {{{
 sudo port install -v arts
 }}}

 The output will whine about a checksum.
 At this point, you need to go find the portfile
 (/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/audio/arts/Portfile)
 and edit it to put in the "correct" checksums for the files you just
 mutilated.

 This is still not enough.  When you build, it while fail because it passes
 an invalid warning flag to the C++ compiler (if either party had been
 willing to let the warning slide, either not to ask for it, or merely to
 warn on an inappropriate warning flag, which by definition is not going to
 affect the output, this would work, but such is not the case).  I edited
 all those out (there's 14 of them) from every file that set it.

 This will get you to the NEXT failure, which is
 {{{
 buffer.h:102: error: extra ';'
 }}}

 and that is in fact the case.
 I've spent enough time on this for one day.
