Comment:

 I installed gnumeric and was unable to reproduce the problem. But perhaps
 gnumeric only uses pcre for example to read a configuration file, and
 since I haven't used gnumeric before, there wouldn't have been a
 configuration file.

 In any case, I found
 [http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/x/goffice.html a web page]
 offering a fix for goffice 0.8 so it doesn't try to use the pcre_info
 function which was removed in pcre 8.30. I committed it in r94133. Wait 30
 minutes, then "sudo port selfupdate". Let me know everything still works
 after re-activating pcre 8.30 and then upgrading goffice.
