Well.... if BerkeleyDB (db44) is now installed, then you should be able to install Subversion. If not, show us the last few lines of the error. (You snipped too much above for us to know what went wrong last time.)
Sorry - I lost that context already. I'm going to be setting up another system soon - if it happens again, I'll capture all of it.
It's also possible to skip BerkeleyDB entirely by building first apr-util and then subversion with the +no_bdb variant. I do this, and recommend it, unless you already know that you really need BerkeleyDB, but I suspect you don't.
Yes, I probably don't need it, but the port dependencies think I do. The blog entry I mentioned ( http://blog.duncandavidson.com/2006/04/ sandboxing_rail.html ) is pretty widely referenced, so I expect a lot of people have their first experience with macPorts trying to set up a Ruby on Rails environment by following these instructions. So when it blows up on db44, they don't know what to do.
Also, you do not need to specify "+darwin_8"; that's automatically selected for you when you're running Mac OS X 10.4.x.
OK - maybe it was the +universal that did the trick? I'm not sure why a "port clean" and then "port install db44 +universal" would fix it, but it did.
I posted that on the site, so perhaps that will get people past this particular hangup.
