The port 'inkscape-devel' (SVN r22457) is actually a late prerelease
version of Inkscape 0.47 (0.47 was released in Nov 2009, at SVN r22583).

In December 2009, after the release of 0.47, Inkscape changed the source
code repository from SVN (sf.net) to bazaar (launchpad.net). If pulling
the sources via bzr from lp:inkscape can't be done from within MacPorts
[1], the port 'inkscape-devel' maybe should be removed or at least the
user notified of its outdated state. Inkscape 0.48 was branched from
trunk in July and released 4 weeks ago.

[1] 'bzr checkout --lightweight lp:inkscape', but afaik there is the
issue that bzr returns a warning about no known launchpad-login
(although it should not prevent from making a read-only checkout?).
