The ports should still provide some valuable clues; they're not magic,
after all, just an encapsulation of the kind of experience with the
program that you were hoping someone would post with.  It's for a
slightly earlier version, admittedly, but the mail/sylpheed-gtk2 port
is pretty short and doesn't involve any unusual magic.  The only thing
that jumps out at me is that it calls out libtool 1.5...
