This was indeed ocaml version problems and fairly easy to 
fix.  I copied the 10.7 ocaml.{info,patch} files to my local 
10.4 tree on my 10.6 system.  The info file already listed 
10.6, and indeed it built fine.  I then rebuilt lablgl-x11 
and lablgtk2 and unison in that order.  And now unison works 
between my 10.9 and 10.6 systems.

So I guess the newer ocaml just needs to propagate to the 
10.4 tree, and everything that build-depends on it needs to 
be told to depend on the new version and revision bumped to 
force a rebuild?  I don't know how many other packages need 
ocaml though, perhaps they don't all play nicely with the 
new version in the 10.4 tree.  I can test things on 10.6 if 
that will help.
