I'm having trouble installing gnome-desktop. I'll paste the output from terminal below. Here are some version and hardware info:
OS 10.6.1
2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
MacPorts 1.8.1
xCode 3.2.1

looks like a transient issue to me, and fixing it (to handle the error better) is definitely an upstream issue

I tried cleaning and installing again and it worked now. Looks like groff was updated and that fixed the error:
