Hi Euan,

I am replying to you and to the list ports@freebsd.org, because the =
question might be of general interest:

The last revision of the ports with OCaml 3.x is 345109, did you try to =
checkout (actually svn export) that revision of the port and build it?

If this breaks, maybe you will need to checkout a full port tree at that =
revision=97just because of Mk/*.

I hope this helps,
Michael
