pg cmake 1.1: Unable to use backslash in configure flags

Description

I'm trying to build this port (attached), and need to escape the < and > characters in a flag, but MacPorts ends up wrapping the entire thing in braces. 

configure.cppflags-append  -DDB_H_ABS_PATH=\\<db.h\\>

Result: 

CFLAGS='-pipe -Os -DNDEBUG -I/opt/local/include {-DDB_H_ABS_PATH=\<db.h\>} -isysroot/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.sdk'

Component: base → ports
Summary: Unable to use backslash in configure flags → cmake portgroup: Unable to use backslash in configure flags

Works as expected without the cmake portgroup: 

:debug:configure CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/local/include -DDB_H_ABS_PATH=\<db.h\> -isysroot/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.sdk'

I have no idea why the portgroup is doing things the way it does (using split on something that is already a list) rather than 

configure.cflags-append {*}${configure.cppflags}
configure.cxxflags-append {*}${configure.cppflags}
configure.objcflags-append {*}${configure.cppflags}
configure.objcxxflags-append {*}${configure.cppflags}
configure.cppflags

Looks like there was some ​extra parsing logic in the beginning. I guess it can be simplified (and fixed) now?
