Comment (by mschamschula@…):

 Replying to [comment:19 jwhowse4@…]:
 > I get essentially the same error log with a different installation
 directory.  Deactivating autogen allows me to install gnutls 3.3.3
 successfully.

 I think this may be the problem.

 I have built gnutls 3.3.3 on my my non-MacPorts build systems under 10.7.5
 and 10.8.5. I don't recall ever using autoconf. I will have to research
 where and why autocanf was inserted into the Portfile.
