 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:
 > Cc'ing port's maintainer.

 Aha, thanks!

 > We'd usually want to see a unified diff of the Portfile instead of a
 complete new Portfile to make it easier to evaluate your changes.

 Fair enough; I'll send that for future updates.

 > Usually we want to update to stable versions of software. Is there a new
 stable version of auctex scheduled to be released in the foreseeable
 future?

 There's hasn't been a stable release in the past two years; nor does there
 ever seem to be one. But, to be honest, I can't find the original reason
 for using the bleeding edge version.

 > I'm worried about the "make; make; make" in the build phase. That makes
 it sound like there's a parallel build failure, in which case we'd want to
 "use_parallel_build no" instead, but I did not test whether that would
 work in this case.

 Yes, I am not happy about that either (and embarrassingly, an old artifact
 left in the Portfile). After some digging, it's not because of using a
 parallel make but rather because of using a CVS checkout.

 > Running ./autogen.sh implies that you should be adding build
 dependencies on autoconf, automake, and/or libtool (as MacPorts would do
 if you were using "use_autoconf yes").

 Ack, yes, good catch. I'm going to rollback to 11.86 and apply the biber
 patches (which are a new feature); then rebuild and resubmit the patch.
