At a second, still cursory look, some inconsistencies have struck my eye
-- this isn't fully fledged debugging.

- I can't seem to figure out what USE_NCURSES actually does, or which
file gets used, (not currently on FreeBSD, so I can't grep ports/Mk
easily) - deferred.

- files/ contains patches for Makefile.am and Makefile.in. Makefile.am
patches are ineffective if the port does not run automake - and
apparently it does not (check USE_AUTOTOOLS).

- aclocal gets some version numbers hacked.  Very fishy, and possibly
hides the real issue.

Does it help to rewrite the Makefile.in patches for Makefile.am and run
automake from USE_AUTOTOOLS?
