It worked fine. I deinstalled and rebuilt and reinstalled the ncurses port, and now emacs builds fine. Gaaah. I think the former version was the package that gets installed with 8.2, but reconstructing the former state would be a challenge. So, uh, I guess we chalk it up to bit rot. "Never mind." I have a couple of other ports that fail in similar ways, but I think I'll wiggle a few more moving parts before reporting the problem.
