Oh dear!!! I haven’t thought about Rogue for man years.

However, it appears that the install of Rogue still fails.
I just ran:

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated
You haven't run 'sudo port reclaim' in two weeks. It's recommended you run this regularly to reclaim disk space. Would you like to run it now? [Y/n]: Y

All updated as expected, so I decided to try to install Rogue for the first time.
