I don't really know the answer to your question, but are you sure 
the port is still broken? I happened to notice that updates for it 
came down the pipe whilst I was running cvsup on my ports collection 
just yesterday, indicating it was updated in the last week or so.

If I go into that directory and issue a make, I get
********************************************************************
Please get DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5-Source.tar from
         http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/streaming/
And, you must accept APSL (Apple Public Source License).
Then, put in /usr/ports/distfiles/DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5-Source.tar.
********************************************************************

Which you'll see is rather different from your original post.

If you did do a recent cvsup, maybe some combination of make clean 
or portsclean is also required?
