Comment(by Sam.Halliday@…):

 I'm very keen to see this port make it into macports. I note some current
 dependency problems and workarounds that users might currently encounter:

 # llvm-gcc #

 https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31663

 ## Summary ##

 Apple's system compiler (LLVM C compiler, with a gcc front-end) doesn't
 come with a fortran compiler. However, an "Apple Framework"-compatible
 fortran compiler is needed in order to build the R-framework.

 The current port of the llvm-gcc42 (which includes a duplicate of the
 system C compiler) will be built by the apple-gcc if it is available
 (Apple's pre-Lion fork of GCC, a dependency of some macports).
 Unfortunately, apple-gcc fails to build the llvm-gcc42 and we must force
 it to be built using the system C compiler.

 ## Workaround ##

 sudo port clean llvm-gcc42 # if you already tried and failed to install
 sudo port install llvm-gcc42 configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2

 # Python27 #

 ## Summary ##

 I have no idea why my R-framework needed to build this, it might be a
 pending build.

 There is currently a minor circular dependency bug in the python27 build,
 which means that the module "py27-xml" requires python27 to be built and
 python27 updates will depend on py27-xml. Python27 appears to be built
 universally by default and will fail to install if py27-xml is installed
 non-universally (the default).

 https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32090

 ## Workaround ##

 before upgrading python27

 port install py27-xml +universal

 OR (easier for me)

 disable py27-xml (and dependants) and then upgrade python27.
