You could download 2.8.0.1 from http://www.wxpython.org, find the checksum
(openssl sha1 /path-to-download/wxPython-src) and then change the version
and checksum in the portfile, then try to install it like normal.  The old
version must have broken with the wxwidget 2.8.0 update.  If it works then
the port could be updated.  mww is the maintainer but he hasn't been
active lately.  I'm on a slow download link and can't try it now.
