Well, nevermind, since I wasn't paying attention, and the error  
message you're getting now is different from the error message you  
were getting before, so it looks like Kevin did find the cause, and  
he has committed hopefully a fix for the next error you're seeing,  
and you should just update your working copy of base and build and  
install it (cd base; make clean; svn update; ./configure --enable- 
readline etc etc; make; make install; try using port again).

FYI, if you wanted to get a different (previous) revision, you would  
e.g. "svn update -r 29497" instead of "svn update".
