Comment:

 Fixed in r84762.

 The fossil port tries to find and rebuild existing repositories after
 upgrading or installing fossil. Fossil stores information about existing
 repositories in a '.fossil' file in the users home directory. If there is
 no '.fossil' file, it will be created when the port tries to find and
 rebuild the existing repositories. Unfortunately if created by the port
 the '.fossil' file is owned by root and not writable by the user and
 therefor causing the aforementioned error.

 Fossil should work fine if you change the file owner of '.fossil' to your
 user. The new version of the port checks if a '.fossil' exists. If not, it
 will not create a '.fossil' of it own.
