Comment:

 Indeed, it seems like the svn access doesn't work at the moment. Yet on
 the netpbm webpage there are links to sourceforge generated tarballs,
 like:

 http://netpbm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/netpbm/stable.tar.gz?view=tar

 etc. which work even now. Perhaps then these can be used in case the svn
 checkout fails? Alternately, could you give me some advice on how to sort
 this out by hand? That is: download such tarball, then suitably rename and
 place it where macports will see it and will not try checking it out from
 svn.

 Would be great if this could be overcome irrespective of the svn issue,
 since I still have a long upgrade ahead.
