I think I have found the problem:

In the makefile: 
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_gnome-python-extras/work/gnome-python-extras-2.19.1/gtkmozembed/Makefile

a blank line has crept in at line 261.

If you delete that blank line, gnome-python-extras builds OK.

I know I should probably create a patchfile and/or file a ticket but I 
am not familiar with the procedure yet. I hope that the maintainer can 
work with the above info.

Regards all

David Rowe.
