 Just stumbled across this, and am submitting a bug report as well, but in
 case you are having this problem. Here is any easy fix...

 When you build icu BEFORE texlive_base, texlive_base fails with...

 But, if you compile texlive_base FIRST, then icu, everything is happy!!!

     Biko:~ sck$ sudo port install texlive_base icu
