Comment (by kencu):

 Michael, you should do a `sudo port selfupdate` and then try to reinstall
 the noweb port. Don't modify the Portfile prior to trying the
 reinstallation -- it doesn't work the way you think it does; macports
 doesn't download patch files like homebrew does.

 If the port doesn't install, please post up the log from your unmodified
 portfile attempt and we'll see what we can find.
