miwi is not only a ports committer, but a senior developer working deep 
in the heat of FreeBSD.

also, don't be surprised if the maintainer of that port 
ports@mcdermottroe.com  rejects your patch.

Like Vitaly said.

you need to find a better way to fix the problem. maybe some runtime 
test.  it looks like the upstream needs fixing as well.
Not only is this broken for so many reasons, but puts an undue burden on 
make index.
(you did run portlint -abt and read the warning, didn't you?)
