The problem appears to be that the fltk build breaks under osx when  
installing with the DESTDIR variable set.  Specifically
the command "fltk-config --post" assumes that the mac.r resource file  
has already been installed into "${prefix}/include/FL".

But the fltk-config script has a backdoor that could be used to solve  
this problem.  It checks to see if there is a local copy
of "FL/mac.r" relative to it's own location and will use that one  
instead.  So a potential solution would be to somehow execute

     ln -s ../include/FL ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/FL

before running "make install install-desktop" and then removing that  
link afterwords.  I'm afraid I don't yet understand Portfiles well
enough to make that change myself, but I would like to learn if  
you'll show me.

Thanks.
