The reason why unison doesn't build is that the GTK toolkit is no longer supported by the Unison people:

I have updated the Portfile to use GTK2. Patch:

Thanks a lot. I had a quick look but postponed work on this as I thought it was some incompatibility with the newer APIs of ocaml. I updated the port to build the gtk2 version as suggested.

Thanks again.
