I can't see anything obviously wrong in the output... I mean, it
doesn't suggest anything nice like "oh, they forgot to add xyz as
a dependency; just do a port install xyz and then do tetex again".
I would just file a bug with macports.

BTW, what happens if you just do:
  sudo port install texi2html
  cp GNUmakefile.in GNUmakefile
  make web-gop

?  that _might_ work without any more hassle.  It's not a
long-term solution, but at least you could work on Alternate input
without potentially waiting days or weeks for the macports
maintainers to investigate their package(s).
