The libsdl-framework port uses an internal MacPorts mechanism (the  
"command" mechanism) which has changed in recent versions of  
MacPorts, so this port broke.

There is a new version of the port in our issue tracker which no  
longer uses this mechanism, which I am currently evaluating and will  
then commit. Thank you for your patience.

I'm also evaluating an update to the libsdl port.
