The grep port is broken here on Tiger:

Yes, I filed a ticket on this problem two months ago: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13343 I've added your email address to the ticket's Cc list so you'll be informed of any progress.

In the following generated Mafile: /opt/local/var/macports/build/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_sysut ils_grep/work/grep-2.5.3/po

There is this strange part:

MKDIR_P = .././install-sh -c -d mkdir_p = $(top_builddir)/./install-sh -c -d

Looks like test code which needs to be cleaned up and $ (top_builddir) is empty at this point.

If I replace it with: MKDIR_P = .././install-sh -c -d mkdir_p = .././install-sh -c -d

and then resume the port install, then it works.

Perhaps the port could include a patch to make this change automatically.
