[XeTeX] Problem installing XeTeX on OS X with Darwinports

[Todd Lehman]

Hello,

I'm running into a problem getting XeTeX installed on OS X with 
Darwinports.  Installation of texlive (http://texlive.darwinports.com/) 
went just fine, as did several other packages, but installation of XeTeX 
(http://xetex.darwinports.com/) is reporting make errors [below].  I'm
not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if the Darwinports distribution 
of XeTeX is broken?  It fails exactly the same way on two different 
systems -- a PowerMac G5 and a Core 2 Duo -- both running OS X 10.5.2.
The most relevant error line seems to be:

   make: *** No rule to make target `../../libs/icu-xetex/lib/libsicuuc.a', needed by `xetex'.  Stop.

I did a search for "icu-xetex" on darwinports.org, and it seemed to 
indicate that the "texlive_base" package is a prerequisite.  I checked, 
and I already have that installed, and it's up to date.

One other (related) thing that's confusing me is that "port deps xetex" 
says it depends on tetex, which I don't currently have, and when I try to 
install the tetex package, it says that a2ping is already being used by 
the texlive_base package, and refuses to activate the tetex package.  Hmm.

Any ideas?
