MTree violation error when building port

[Brian Peisley]

I was having a similar problem with an mtree violation when building
subversion 1.4.4

I upgraded to 1.520 this morning and it looks like they've temporarily
changed mtree violations to warnings instead of fatal errors, so you
would likely be able to build xpdf after doing another selfupdate.
