Well ffmpeg does it a bit of a weird convoluted way, because it wants  
to pin down the version of an external definition in ffmpeg's  
repository and they haven't done so themselves in the repository like  
they should.

The simpler way to fetch source from Subversion is to just use the  
keywords MacPorts gives you for that purpose. See the pure-devel port  
for an example of that.
