ncurses/ncursesw cannot detect terminfo dir

Description

I had to add the following configure item to the Portfile to get ncurses/ncursesw to build on Leopard, otherwise configure would fail thinking that the terminfo dir was "".

Here was the configure output before the patch:

...
checking if you want modern xterm or antique... xterm-new
checking for list of terminfo directories... /opt/local/share/terminfo
checking for default terminfo directory... configure: error: expected a pathname, not ""
