I have gone round and round on this. No closer to resolution.

If you are the maintainer, can that be rolled into a Portfile? It  
would be a lot better of the py-gtk2/py-gnome stuff could be resolved  
but I don't know how to get that going. It looks like gramps is  
crapping on a failed test for py-gnome, but the actual failure is a  
failure to run the test.

checking for sh... /bin/sh
checking Python bindings for gtk2.4 (pygtk2>=2.3.4)... ok
checking Python bindings for gnome... ./configure: line 2324:  2894  
Bus error               $PYTHON conftest.py
cat: conftest.out: No such file or directory
configure: error:
**** The python bindings for gnome 2.0 (gnome-python2) could not be  
found.

Line 2324 is the first line of this block:
$PYTHON conftest.py
has_pygnome=`cat conftest.out`
rm -f conftest.out conftest.py
if test YES != "$has_pygnome"
then
    { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error:
**** The python bindings for gnome 2.0 (gnome-python2) could not be  
found." >&5
echo "$as_me: error:
**** The python bindings for gnome 2.0 (gnome-python2) could not be  
found." >&2;}
    { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }
fi

The conftest.py file doesn't exist in the ported version (2.0.10) or  
the latest stable version (2.2.6): is it reasonable to expect it  
there or should it part of some other tarball?
