At one point, I did get the lang/cli port to build with no problem.  
It's a bit outdated (2002-06-19 vs. 2002-11-02) but it worked.  
Unfortunately, I'm now getting a syntax error in the configure:

./configure: line 1041: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
./configure: line 1041: `fi'

that I think is unrelated to the sscli port and possibly related to a 
broken shell.

As far as doing a build of the latest snapshot, it certainly doesn't 
work out of the box.  The first problem I ran into was with their PAL 
reimplementation of localtime, ctime, and mktime.  After going through 
the macro-hackery in the headers that's used to redefine the C runtime 
functions, you end up with conflicting definitions for these 
functions, eg, you get:

struct * DUMMY_tm __attribute((cdecl)) PAL_localtime(const time_t *)
and
struct * PAL_tm __attribute((cdecl)) PAL_localtime(const time_t *)

in misc.c, and gcc stops there.  It looks like they're missing a macro 
replacement of tm -> PAL_tm in a header, but I've not spent time 
tracking it down.  My next goal, during my free time tommorrow, is to 
check the patchs in the lang/cli port that I assume deal with similar 
issues.

(FYI: I did try just dropping the new tarball overtop the one the port 
expects but most of the patches didn't apply.)
