The port is unmaintained so the only thing to do is to experiment.  The
latest svn rev is 8743, so 6399 is probably pretty old.  Also, the FreeBSD
port's configure args are quite a bit different.  Does that give any
clues?  You may also file a bug report but perhaps you can find the
problem and report so it can be fixed.
