Description
This is a major update to the auctex port. I've been keeping track and getting incremental updates from their cvs repo into mercurial here:
https://bitbucket.org/seanfarley/auctex
This update also includes a new variant based on biber:

Cc'ing port's maintainer.
We'd usually want to see a unified diff of the Portfile instead of a complete new Portfile to make it easier to evaluate your changes.
Usually we want to update to stable versions of software. Is there a new stable version of auctex scheduled to be released in the foreseeable future?
I'm worried about the "make; make; make" in the build phase. That makes it sound like there's a parallel build failure, in which case we'd want to "use_parallel_build no" instead, but I did not test whether that would work in this case.
Running ./autogen.sh implies that you should be adding build dependencies on autoconf, automake, and/or libtool (as MacPorts would do if you were using "use_autoconf yes").

Aha, thanks!

Fair enough; I'll send that for future updates.

There's hasn't been a stable release in the past two years; nor does there ever seem to be one. But, to be honest, I can't find the original reason for using the bleeding edge version.

Yes, I am not happy about that either (and embarrassingly, an old artifact left in the Portfile). After some digging, it's not because of using a parallel make but rather because of using a CVS checkout.

Ack, yes, good catch. I'm going to rollback to 11.86 and apply the biber patches (which are a new feature); then rebuild and resubmit the patch.

Well, I don't remember why I initially needed the CVS version of auctex; so for now I've reverted back to 11.86. The patch I just added to this ticket adds a new variant, +biber, based of of this:

Finally got around to fixing the patches. They are both attached to this ticket now. Let me know if anything else needs to be fixed!
