FreeBSD sed gets installed, but it is crippled (doesn't recognize

An old version of flex gets installed.

Unfortunately, this tool is not installed with Xcode or OS X/Darwin
(it can be configured with --enable-nls=no to prevent build problems)

- configure problems
There is a bug in Mac OS X that causes problems when configuring many
software packages (see
e.g.<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-08/
msg00039.html>). As a result of this bug, the coreutils command "uname
-p" reports "unknown".  This confuses config.guess.

Has anyone considered just doing the port and getting the port file committed to DarwinPorts[1] ?
