[Gm2] missing downloads for macport of gm2

Hallo,
while trying to install gm2 on OS-X 10.6.8 (Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0)
by following the instructions given in 

http://www.nongnu.org/gm2/osx.html.

I asserted lots of failures when the port command tried to fetch the sources
from various locations (see the log-file "main.log" which is attached to 
that message). I ended up with an incomplete directory tree for the sources.
E.g. when looking into the directory 
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_username_MacPorts_ports_lang_gm2-latest/gm2-latest/work/gcc-4.1.2/gcc/
you can't see a directory named "gm2*/".
So my first question is: to which locations has the sourcecode for gm2 been 
moved? Did anybody here succeed in installing gm2-latest by using macports
in the last few weeks? How has he managed that?
I add the information that I updated OS-X 10.6.8 as well as macports to 
macports 2.1.3 last week.
The command `sudo port list` shows among others:
gm2-latest                     @4.1.2          lang/gm2-latest
gm2-latest                     @4.1.2          lang/gm2-latest
so gm2 shouldn't be out of the competition.

Is it possible to use the tarball from
http://floppsie.comp.glam.ac.uk/download/c/     gcc-4.1.2+gm2-1.0.4.tar.gz
to install gm2 by using configure, make and make install on OS-X?
I doubt that because the Portfile for macports did a lot of patches
to the downloaded source which seems to be missing for the tarball mentioned
above. So the sources for linux and OS-X may be different.

In addition I suffer from a minor problem with the `port livecheck` command.
`livecheck` appears in the last three lines of 
/Users/username/MacPorts/ports/lang/gm2-latest/Portfile.
E.g. calling the command `portindex` results in the following  error message

Creating port index in /Users/yihongxu/MacPorts/ports
Failed to parse file lang/gm2-latest/Portfile: invalid command name 
"livecheck.check"

Total number of ports parsed:   1
Ports successfully parsed:      0
Ports failed:                   1
Up-to-date ports skipped:       0

which only disappears when commenting the last 3 lines of Portfile.
It's similar for the command `sudo port build gm2-latest`.
Am I right to guess that this problem is related to the missing
source code of gm2?

I really would appreciate it if someone can help me to get a working 
modula2 compiler on the Mac up and running.

Yours sincerely
