This port uses USE_CONFIGURE to configure ddd for building, and it finds /usr/bin/bison. This chocks the make of ddd. If I set the YACC environmental variable to /usr/bin/yacc, configure will not probe for bison. The subsequent build with the yacc generated parser works. I've looked through ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk for a USE_YACC variable, but apparently one does not exists. So, at this point we have 4 options: (1) upgrade src/contrib/bison to version 1.27 which should fix the problem; (2) add a USE_YACC and/or USE_BISON variable to ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk; (3) tell the person trying to build ddd to set a YACC environmental variable; or (4) add a DEPENDS=bison so ports/devel/bison gets install and hope that ${PREFIX}/bin occurs before usr/bin in PATH.
