Well, then you better fix that portfile really soon now.

I don't want to flame, but...

Do you guys actually test _anything_ before releasing it to the public?

Do you actually want to be taken for serious?

If so, you better start to use some methods of what is generally called 
"release management" really soon now.

Until then, I'll personally consider Macports as inexistant, because unusable 
for actual use. As basically _most_ of the ports are broekk at any given 
moment and a quick "sudo port upgrade installed" can even break things that 
were previously working.

Sincerely,
