I'm working on an update to the port, which I will submit to the maintainer.

In the meantime, the problem is that you need to have the xml files in the 
Resources directory in a directory of the same name under your ~/.mulberry 
directory, but it's not created when you initiate Mulberry for the first 
time.

You can easily correct this by creating a symlink:

ls -s /usr/local/lib/mulberry/Resources/ ~/.mulberry/

That will solve your problem.
