Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Ok, so in configure.ac povray attempts to learn the owner and group of the
 home directory this way:

 {{{
 povowner=`stat -c %u ${HOME}`
 povgroup=`stat -c %g ${HOME}`
 }}}

 This only works with GNU stat, but OS X comes with BSD stat, so we patch
 configure.ac and change it to this:

 {{{
 povowner=`stat -f %u ${HOME}`
 povgroup=`stat -f %g ${HOME}`
 }}}

 Your main.log contains these lines that mine does not:

 {{{
 :info:configure stat: cannot read file system information for '%u': No
 such file or directory
 :info:configure stat: cannot read file system information for '%g': No
 such file or directory
 }}}

 My Makefile has correctly gotten the group and owner information:

 {{{
 povgroup = 0
 povowner = 501
 }}}

 Your Makefile has this unexpected output:

 {{{
 povgroup =   File:
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_povray/povray/work/.home"

 I can produce similar output and similar error message by using the gstat
 program (the GNU version of stat) that's part of the coreutils port. So it
 seems to me that you have replaced OS X's BSD version of stat with a copy
 of GNU stat. Could that be? If you're not sure, try running
 "`/usr/bin/stat --version`". The correct output for OS X's BSD stat is:

 {{{
 /usr/bin/stat: illegal option -- -
 usage: stat [-FlLnqrsx] [-f format] [-t timefmt] [file ...]
 }}}

 The incorrect output, which you would see if you had replaced it with GNU
 stat, would be something like this:

 {{{
 stat (GNU coreutils) 8.22

 If that's what you get, you'll need to put back OS X's versions of stat,
 and any other utilities you replaced. For example, you could restore them
 from your Time Machine backup, or by reinstalling OS X.
