If you don't have extremely strange requirements, and they're not  
already available in the MacPorts port, they could probably be added  
for you.

perl 5.8.8 has been out for a while ...

Perl is looking for the corresponding .bundle (there should be a  
_Repos.bundle file that got built).

Subversion can be kind of finicky when building. If you haven't  
already, it would be easy to just blow away your build directory and  
untar a new one from the subversion distribution and try building again.

... but if you can get away with it, it sure is a lot easier to just  
run 'port install svk' ;-)
