I'm afraid I don't have any advice on this. Perhaps Greg Wright, the  
port's maintainer, can comment. If not, you can ask the developers of  
the software.

It looks like your port is a little out of date, so you should  
probably "sudo port selfupdate" to make sure you have the latest  
MacPorts code and portfiles.
