Interestingly, my homemade port rebuild script is recently broken with
similar symptoms, sans the dependencies on ruby.  It's a very simple,
low-level "for i in `cat list`" type script which recently has begun
to fail repeatedly on gettext and autoconf dependencies on multiple
machines, when I specifically have them set to be upon the first ports
to build.

More probably unrelated, but I thought I'd throw this out there just in case.
