That port includes the net-im/libpurple Makefile and that defines which version and distfile that is. So you would have to fetch that too and change the path where it is included ... very ugly. There are probably other dependencies updated too that you would also need to track manually. How about updating your ports tree as everybody else does? -- Bernhard Fröhlich http://www.bluelife.at/
