Description
The asciidoc command is failing because it has #!/opt/local/bin/python hardcoded for the shebang line, and I don't have python_select installed. I fixed this by installing python_select, although I had to fix that up by adding an extra alternative, python25-apple, since I'm on Leopard (I'll report that bug separately).
After that, a2x is still failing because it uses readlink -f, and the BSD readlink command works differently from the Linux one. I don't know if you want to report this upstream or just handle it with a MacPorts-specific patch file, which is why I'm reporting it here and not upstream.
I temporarily fixed the readlink problem by defining a function called readlink at the top of the script which just does echo "$2". After that, it works with no options. However, I've now found that the --copy option doesn't work, because it uses cp -u, which is another Linux-ism.
