Comment:

 I agree: flex is using gm4, and therefore needs a dependency on the m4
 port. flex's configure script shows:
 {{{
 checking for m4 that supports -P... /opt/local/bin/gm4
 }}}
 And that path gets baked into the flex executable:
 {{{
 $ grep /opt/local/bin/gm4 /opt/local/bin/flex
 Binary file /opt/local/bin/flex matches
 }}}
 Fixed in r98589.
