Comment (by kencu):

 I saw that same error several times as well, and then, after another `sudo
 port sync`, I got it to build.

 I didn't change anything in the portfile, I believe, to make it build, so
 perhaps try again.

 It might also be a parallel building thing -- I've been seeing a lot of
 issues lately that seem to be related to parallel building on Tiger and
 Leopard, and so I set my build jobs to 1 in macports.conf on those
 systems.

 I have not prospected why that is occurring, and I most certainly had no
 intention of posting up a ticket about it until I had it all sorted out,
 but in the meantime, you might find it helpful to try disabling parallel
 building as an experiment.
