New description:

 Not sure if this is a macports problem or upstream problem.

 My macports working directory resides on a second harddisk, mounted on
 "/Volumes/Secondary HD". Notice the space in the path. For some reason,
 pkgdata fails to backslash the space. So for example,

 {{{
 ## Makefile for icudt38l created by pkgdata
 ## from ICU Version 3.8.1

 SRCDIR=/Volumes/Secondary
 HD/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
 .org_release_ports_tex_texlive-bin/work/texlive-20091107-source/libs/icu
 /icu-build/data/out/build/icudt38l
 }}}

 So when I compile say R, which uses icu, I encounter compile error in the
 libs/icu/icu-build directory, like the following:

 {{{
 DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=../stubdata:../lib:../tools/ctestfw:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
 MAKEFLAGS= ../bin/pkgdata -O ../data/icupkg.inc -q -c -s
 /Volumes/Secondary
 HD/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
 .org_release_ports_tex_texlive-bin/work/texlive-20091107-source/libs/icu
 /icu-build/data/out/build/icudt38l -d ../lib -M'PKGDATA_LDFLAGS=""' -e
 icudt38 -T ./out/tmp -p icudt38l -L sicudata -m static
 "./out/tmp/icudata.lst"
 Error opening
 <HD/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
 .org_release_ports_tex_texlive-bin/work/texlive-20091107-source/libs/icu
 /icu-build/data/out/build/icudt38l>.
 error loading input file lists: U_FILE_ACCESS_ERROR
 make: *** [packagedata] Error 2
 }}}

 How was this accomplished?

 We certainly don't support the MacPorts prefix containing a space; the
 problem you're experiencing may be an extension of that.

 P.S: Don't forget to use WikiFormatting
