No hardware to test, but the port generally looks good. Couple of small
things:

- I'd prefer a lower-case PKGNAME to match the binary and the name of
the port directory i.e. PKGNAME=${DISTNAME:L}

- http://wiki.gude.info/images/f/f3/Gblc-0.7.11.tar.gz immediately
redirects, it would be preferable to set SITES to the redirect target
https://wiki.gude-systems.com/images/f/f3/

- Nit picking I would readd the blank line to gblv4.c removed by the
patch and regen, for a cleaner patch.

with those, ok sthen@
