The abiword port is odd; it installs from a binary.

There is a use_source variant but I don't think it works right now.

Someone nice should update the port to the latest version and fix it so it just builds from source always like a normal port.

It looks like somebody has just done this a couple days ago. Please test the portfile attached here:
