Ryan, mission accomplished.

Scribus 1.3.3.10 downloads, compiles and runs all right.
Filed a TRAC ticket right here http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13880

The guide helped me a big deal.
I only took a long time to search WHERE my portfiles live - that could  
be explained a little better.

Ah, and there is even a description of how to file a TRAC ticket...
So I conclude, there seems to be almost everything in the guide already,
but I find it still tricky to find. Maybe a "situational" ordering  
would be preferable
over an "organizational" ordering...

If I can help anyone with it, I volunteer to be the maintainer for  
Scribus.

Good night,
Thorsten.
