It's a pity you didn't mention the exact port or we might have been able to be more specific. Port's that are unbroken usually ahve the BROKEN line removed, not commented out. Most often, you'll see a commented out BROKEN when someone's manually edited the local Makefile to try fixing the port. Ciao, Sheldon.
