I had a quick look at two of these:

There's a younger version of the source at [2], but it doesn't compile,
either (also lacking cryptopp/sapphire.h). It looks like the source code
hasn't been touched for at least 10 months, so it's unlikely for this to
be resolved (soon).

I just saw you already sent a PR (ports/56089). Did you try to build it
on 5.x, too? With me (5.1R), configure stops with an error message:

***
[...]
checking whether -fhandle-exceptions is needed... yes
checking for mutable... yes
checking for two-iterator string constructor... no
checking for November 96 deque... no

Your STL string implementation is unusable.
Please inform <latte-dev at zanshin.com>.

I don't know STL, but it seems like gcc 3.x is incompatible with that
program's code [1].
(Furthermore, the project seems to be abandoned - its mailing list and
the one of its successor (http://www.blatte.org/) have been deserted for
about one and a half years, and there haven't been any updates, AFAICS.)
