Someone committed the fix in the ticket. However, now we have the same problem reported against another port:

I believe something is amiss in base. Someone who knows about base, please comment.
I am the one who committed the fix; I also looked into base to see about fixing the actual problem. It appears to be related to Tcl variable traces, and I think it should be fixable by someone who understands them (I hope to have time to later today).
However, any fix in base isn't going to go live until 1.4.4, so we should probably fix the Portfile to deal with current deficiencies in the meantime.

I recently created ticket #11868 (http://trac.macports.org/projects/ macports/ticket/11868) to track this issue, assigned to the "needs developer review" milestone so that base hackers can pick it up and report findings there. -jmpp
