See ports(7) -- there is a standard 'configure' target you can use, even
though it is not mentioned explicitly in the port's own Makefile.  With
autoconf based packages it runs autoconf for you.  

Alternatively you can put the patch files into the 'files' directory,
renaming them so the filename starts 'patch-' then 'make clean' and 'make'
and those patches should be applied automatically.

Whether that will cure the original problem with undefined references,
I can't say.

	Cheers,
