Do you customize the 'runtimepath' setting in any way in your .vimrc?
This might happen if you remove default system directories. Maybe you
hardcoded /opt/local/share/vim/vim73/, but now it needs to
be /opt/local/share/vim/vim74/?

The port info output does not show what you actually installed.
Please check 'port installed vim' instead.

It was released in October, so it's not really old. This is also the
version on which the current MacVim release is based on. Be aware that
not all patches always affect vim built for Mac OS X in MacPorts, as
they may target Windows or other platforms.

Is there a particular bug fix from a later patch you are looking for?
