I can confirm the problem with Xcode 3.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.4 Intel.

It seems autoconf is now picky about spaces between the parentheses and the variable name in AC_SUBST statements? Patching this in r38414. Now it builds for me.
Thank you for reporting the problem!
Kevin, I haven't reported this problem to the makers of fish; you may want to do that so the fix can be upstream instead of in MacPorts.
