Comment (by tfhavel@…):

 Updating the port to that version would be greatly appreciated (hopefully
 by a lot of people besides me)!

 I'll give it a try myself if you tell me how one goes about importing a
 tarball into the macports directory hierarchy, but I note that the README
 file in the tarball says GNUMail depends on Pantomime which can be
 downloaded from the same defunct site that used to host GNUMail. So I
 wonder if the current version of Pantomime in marports won't have the same
 problem?

 The same goes for all of GNUstep, actually!

 It's not surprising it fails to compile on current systems.
