Thanks for the update. It builds and installs fine here on two boxes 
with 10.0-CURRENT (amd64).

One issue which should be thought about before updating gdal in the ports:

Does gdal-1.9.1 really needs swig 2.0? It seems so for at least libkml?

The problem is, that in your Makefile swig 2.0 conflicts with an 
installed swig 1.3.40, which is needed for example by graphics/geos, 
graphics/graphviz, math/saga, science/py-scipy and some others.

Affected ports can be found for example with
find /usr/ports -name Makefile -depth 3 -exec grep -l -e "swig13" {} \;

I personally would prefer the newer swig 2.0 version (even for most 
other ports). Do you think it is necessary to forbid a parallel swig 
1.3.40 installation in your port? I read somewhere that both swig ports 
can coexist in principle, only some docs share the same places (which 
should be changed, of course).
