I had the same problems with w3m, eventually giving it up and just
installing w3 for emacs, since I'm sitting in emacs 90% of the time
anyway. I'm running 3.4-stable, with ports downloaded maybe three
weeks ago and the errors he described in his original message are very
similar to the errors I had.
While I was searching for the error, I found that the source file from
which tagtable.c was generated appeared to be corrupted, with
gibberish characters in the lines that gave errors during the
compile. If the sources were corrupted, they're corrupted in the
distribution downloaded by the ports system.
FWIW.
