I agree. I get the same thing. Maybe mldonkey 2.8.5 just does not  
work with ocaml 3.10.0 (since it says it needs "3.09.3" (and not  
"3.09.3 or later")). You should file a ticket in our issue tracker  
and assign it to the maintainer of the mldonkey port. Maybe updating  
the port to the current version of mldonkey, 2.9.2, would help. You  
could edit the portfile yourself and test whether updating to 2.9.2  
works; if it does, you can attach your diff to the ticket.
