It's from KDE, more precisely from KSharedDataCache. It's mostly harmless, if 
a bit verbose. Sadly, however, KSDC does not work as is on OSX, atm, I'm 
working with Michael Pyne, the other, to change that. There has been a serious 
of merge requests lately that make things work well enough for me, but I'm not 
sure what if any of that has made it into macports. If things work for you, 
otherwise, the warning itself should be harmless.
