No, the problem is -- or rather, was -- that the swt-devel package uses
a script (build.sh) which automatically detects the presence of webkit
and unconditionally includes it in the build, but something elsewhere
within the package's build mechanism is broken with respect to webkit.
The package in its current state simply doesn't offer any sort of option
for the user to easily disable webkit in the build.

Eitan just committed the patch I submitted to work around this problem
the other day, so update your ports tree and give it another try.

I say "work around", because all my patch does is unconditionally
disable the inclusion of webkit in the build for now.  I have yet to
dig down deeper and figure out exactly what's causing the breakage.

Better than nothing, though, right?  :-)
