I just built GnuCash on -CURRENT a few hours ago, and it works just
fine.  I tried with and without extra malloc options.  I suggested Chris
do a portupgrade -Rf gnucash\*, as I just built all of the GnuCash
direct dependencies from scratch today (except guile and popt).  That
is:

guppi
ofx
db4
g-wrap
slib
p5-HTML
p5-libwww
p5-Date-Manip
p5-Finance-Quote
p5-Finance-QuoteHist
gnucash-docs

Since I'm not that good at reading scheme backtraces, you'd have to find
one of the GnuCash developers decode it for you.  I'd try rebuild those
dependencies first.
