The OP could set TRYBROKEN in the environment, and the package would attempt to build. OP: since it's the plist that's broken, you may well be able to install and use the port. However, and please hear me, you may not be able to *uninstall* the port correctly, since the package database won't know all of the files that were installed by the port (because the 'packlist' is incorrect).
