gnomeprint and bonobo both had the problem. I cvsup'ed the ports tree ag= ain,=20 after deleting the ports completly, just in case something was wrong. The configure script flipped out while checking libXml in gnomeprint and=20 bonobo and libIDL in bonobo. I just hard coded the vers variable to get=20 around the error.
