Hi again,

It didn't take as long as I thought it might.
I created a local port and installed it.
It compiled, installed and activated and said:

  --->  No broken files found.
  --->  Found 1 broken port, determining rebuild order
  You can always run 'port rev-upgrade' again to fix errors.
  The following ports will be rebuilt: llvm-gcc42 @2336.11+universal
  Continue? [Y/n]: n

I didn't continue because I knew that wouldn't work but
I figure it didn't matter. I've uninstalled llvm-gcc42
so it'll stop complaining. :-)

It seems to work fine. Strangely, sunclock --version reports 3.56
even though this exists:

  https://distfiles.macports.org/sunclock/sunclock_3.57.orig.tar.gz

and the Portfile has:

  version          3.57

Thanks everyone. You've all been extremely helpful.

cheers,
raf
