that site has no packages; what you are using is an unfinished port. it is
listed as "alpha" because it is known to not work. i was able to get everything
to compile for the most part, but something is wrong with the libraries and i
haven't been able to locate the problem yet. once everything is known to work,
the official ports tree will be updated. 

patches are welcomed.
