Joe,
Sorry. I need to learn to read. It was not missing a DTD, but xmlcatmgr
was segfaulting when attempting to get the DTD.
checking for DocBook XML DTD... Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
configure: error: not found. Make sure you have the DocBook DTD installed and ensure that it is registered in /usr/local/share/xml/catalog.
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please direct the output of the failure of the make command to a file, and
then feed that file to the gnomelogalyzer, available from
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/gnomelogalyzer.sh, which will diagnose the problem
and suggest a solution.  If - and only if - the gnomelogalyzer cannot solve
the problem, report the problem to the FreeBSD GNOME team at gnome at FreeBSD.org,
and attach
"/usr/ports/textproc/scrollkeeper/work/scrollkeeper-0.3.14/config.log" and
the output of the failure of the make command.  Also, it might be a good idea
to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls
/var/db/pkg`).

But why the heck s it failing? I'm baffled, but  suspect it's something
in some library. Maybe I need to rebuild expat? (I really don't
understand what is going on and am probably flailing away more than
anything else.)
