I deinstalled and rebuilt and reinstalled the ncurses port, and now emacs
builds fine. Gaaah. I think the former version was the package that gets
installed with 8.2, but reconstructing the former state would be a
challenge.
So, uh, I guess we chalk it up to bit rot. "Never mind."
I have a couple of other ports that fail in similar ways, but I think I'll
wiggle a few more moving parts before reporting the problem.
