Sorry. Actually, it turns out to be a licensing issue. I've
included libsdl which, through a convoluted dependency chain,
includes openssl. MacPorts interprets the OpenSSL license to
preclude providing pre-compiled binaries. I'm going to look into
excluding libsdl (or at least making it an optional variant). I
*think* that's the only problem license...
