Impossible to know for sure what the problem is without seeing the
Portfile, but it looks like you may have accidentally cleared
configure.args.

Okay thanks! I fixed the problem. In the process, I found that
Portfile keywords now require a preceding blank line, is this correct?
No, that shouldn't be the case. But check that you don't have any
trailing backslashes on the previous line, which would cause the next to
be treated as a continuation of the same line.
When I edit a portfile, I usually comment out a line and replace it on
the next line. This practice was acceptable at least through macports
v2.6.2. I guess the portfile parser was updated since then, although
from skimming the macports-base changelog, I do not see a related
commit. Anyway, could the lint option check for this condition?
The portfile parser is just the Tcl parser, which hasn't changed
recently. But there are some mistakes that it's hard to check for with
lint, like the trailing backslash one above.
