Yes, I noticed the problem. I initially thought I had fixed it because, 
at one point, running "make install" successfully installed the desktop 
environment binaries. However, when I moved the updated port to another 
machine for testing, the installation failed. It seems this port is 
broken, and if it cannot be fixed, I think the best course of action 
would be to remove it from the ports tree.

I've considered what Theo Buehler said, and I think he is right, it 
doesn't make sense to invest time in updating this desktop environment, 
as it has been de facto abandoned by its mainstream developers.
