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.
