Comment:

 The port already has a dependency on the libevent port and does a
 reinplace that looks like it's supposed to make the port use MacPorts
 libevent.a instead of the built-in one. So maybe that's not working
 anymore.

 Would be better if transmission used MacPorts libevent.dylib instead of
 libevent.a.
