You could always start by updating your ports.  At least that way, those
of us with current versions of the port would be able to look at the
same makefiles and so forth.  That said, go back to the main port
directory, make clean, make rmconfig, and build again; *don't* change
the port options when given the choice (after all, the port did build on
a clean system, so the problem's probably something you set up).  Also
make sure there's nothing relevant in /etc/make.conf.
       
Another point:  if you still have the problem after following this
advice, copy-and-paste the actual errors, rather than trying to re-type
it.  

Good luck.
