The port was at 1.8.x before I added the additional lookup of
svnlite to the script.  There really is no need for UPDATING entry,
since 1.7.9 is deprecated, and the behavior you have seen is not a fatal
error with the buildkernel process.

BTW, you should upgrade devel/subversion anyway, since there are
security vulnerabilities.
