Comment (by drkp):

 Okay, I looked into this a bit more. It seems that there is not really any
 meaningful way to build mit-scheme from source without a working binary of
 itself to bootstrap from. The portable C implementation that used to exist
 had the scheme code compiled down to a C backend.

 I'm surprised that you were able to get the regular source to build -- I
 thought that required a scheme interpreter to build, so maybe you already
 had another version of mit-scheme installed?

 In light of all that, it sounds like our best option is probably to start
 with one of the binary releases. It does limit us to a specific
 architecture, but not sure that can be helped.

 The mit-scheme x86_64 packages do seem to build okay for me on my system.
 I haven't gotten it to build through the portfile yet, but I'm sure that's
 solvable...
