Clearly I need to update it.  ;)

I have installed this on one machine, so I know it will compile. I  
don't recall if I had to do anything special. But I haven't made it  
work, just installed it. I will be doing more testing with this in  
the near future. One of my biggest problems I've had has been working  
with ports. I haven't had any luck with Wine and ports. I do have  
Xastir working with a port. I have had mixed results, so I suspect  
GPSman will be similar.

I tried installing it once. No luck, so that confirms your results.  
Shame since voice alerts would be nice.
