On further investigation, my build was racket-5.2 from my last round
of pkgsrc builds (~approx 1/2012 pkgsrc tree), and not the latest 5.3

Indeed the graphical 5.2 version did build completely, including
documents, packaging, etc - I've put my (patched) pkgsrc lang/racket
subtree in:

http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~cat/racket-5.2/

in case any of the patches might be of assistance
and am currently uploading the actual package to the same directory

As for 5.3, I'll be working on another round of local-bulks in the coming
weeks, so if you don't manage to get it sorted out by then, I'll review
and take a crack at the 5.3 version whenever I get to that.

If you're itching for a copy of my larceny build or notes let me
know and I can post those for the time being.

In other scheme porting misc, there is a patch in ypsilon bugs
for DF support (#150), and chibi scheme now has DF support
as well (bug #122)

Also hope to get these all pkgsrcified eventually as well.

Cheers,

- Chris
