Could you try to provide a minimal test Portfile which can be used to track this down? I don't want to test with mzscheme or boost.

It is difficult to construct a small Portfile for this problem. MacPorts runs make, and make calls another program (jam for boost and a variant of mzscheme for mzscheme). It is in these secondary programs that the problem occurs. At the point of error in the boost code, the author has included the comment "# VP: I have no idea now 'native' can be empty here! But it can!" This is not an encouraging comment, but I shall continue to try to track down the problem. -Marcus
