Yes, I'm pretty sure that'll be causing the problem.

If the MacPorts TeX package includes old versions of packages like  
this, I'd suggest you consider trying gwTeX or MacTeX instead, both  
of which are much more up-to-date. You could also send a problem  
report to the MacPorts TeX maintainers, whoever they are, asking them  
to update their distribution.
