Portasge is not complaining, ./configure is and you appear to be
misreading the output between what ./configure says with what eix &
ebuilds says.
This:
No package 'mdds-1.0' found
is not the same as this:
$ eix mdds
(1) (~)1.2.0(1/1.2){tbz2} **9999(1/9999)
You don't have mdds-1.0, you have mdds-1.2 and there is no 1.0 candidate
available for installation. So this is an ebuild bug and should be
reported at bgo.
My setup has all those packages installed since a long time, but trying
to re-install fails the same way as you. I reckon the maintainer missed
the build failure.
