Comment(by dgh@…):

 The default variant gnustep_layout has the gnustep-make install using a
 different directory structure from gnustep-base.
 The portfile code for this variant specifies     "configure.pre_args
 --prefix=${prefix}/GNUstep"

 gnustep-base has no such variant, and can't find the needed configuration
 files in its directory structure.

 To fix this, turn off the default variant for gnustep-make

 I get a whole lot further when doing the following:
   1. sudo port install gnustep-make -gnustep_layout
   2. manually edit .profile and .rc to set PATH correctly and source
 /opt/local/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
   3. sudo port install gnustep-base

 The autoconf configure process for gnustep-base now halts when its trying
 to invoke the objective-c compiler to make binaries. I dont know enough
 about autoconf to understand what its testing so I'm stuck behind this
 learning curve. The error message gives a hit that libraries might be
 needed.

 The logfile from the configure step for gnustep-base is attached as file
 gnustep-base-log.
