Have figured out the issue, though error doesn't match the resolution. I removed all ports and reinstalled them using the -k option (to not clean the port after install) and now mpkg works fine. Interesting since the error is from packagemaker about the language.

Seem to be solved.

The warnings about "-AppleLanguages English" is unfortunate, but are a workaround to bugs in PackageMaker.app on Leopard where it otherwise creates packages in the current language only.
