Comment (by ryandesign):

 Well, for one thing, the newsboat port declares a dependency on the
 ncurses port, which is at version 6.1 and provides `ncurses6-config`. Why
 is newsboat looking for the older `ncurses5.4-config`? It looks like the
 config.sh script has the ability to check for a dependency's existence
 using `pkg-config`, and does so for the other dependencies, but doesn't do
 that for ncurses. I'd probably start by patching config.sh to use `pkg-
 config` to find ncurses too.
