This has also happened to me on an Intel MacBook (2GHz one), OS X 10.5.2 and whatever XCode came with the install disks.

This is caused by Leopard occasionally installing with an out of date version of emacs (wtf?)

See ​http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5910972

Workaround:

sudo mv /usr/bin/emacs-i386 /usr/bin/emacs-i386.backup sudo /usr/libexec/dumpemacs -d emacs --version

Version should be 22.1.1

Now, make sure to sudo port clean desktop-file-utils and then retry installing it. It worked for me.

However, it's probably not good for a port build process to be depending on external emacs like that.

gahhh... formatting above is messed up

sudo mv /usr/bin/emacs-i386 /usr/bin/emacs-i386.backup
sudo /usr/libexec/dumpemacs -d
emacs --version 

[(none)]

emacs support was disabled in r40951 (for ticket #15922), so this should be fixed.
