The source code download files have names and descriptions like this:
This says to me that this software is specifically designed for the Ubuntu Linux operating system—"Precise" refers to Ubuntu version 12, whose codename is "Precise Pangolin". As such, who knows if this software can be compiled on OS X.
I made a quick attempt at creating a Portfile. It failed to configure, citing numerous dependencies it required that I didn't have installed, many of which we don't have Portfiles for in MacPorts yet either. So those would need to be created first. Here is the list of dependencies for beatbox 0.5 according to their INSTALL file:
