On DragonFly 1.8.2, libpurple does not build:

[wrapper.sh] note: The real command line, after the pkgsrc wrapper, was:
/usr/obj/pkgsrc/chat/libpurple/work/.compiler/bin/fortran-fail-wrapper

Also, I think I caught a separate error - (assuming I'm using build
variables right)

libpurple is looking at the wrong variable for build options:

===> Installing dependencies for libpurple-0.0.1
==========================================================================
The supported build options for libpurple are:

        debug gnutls perl silc tcl

The currently selected options are:

        gnutls silc

You can select which build options to use by setting PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
or the following variable.  Its current value is shown:

        PKG_OPTIONS.pidgin (not defined)

==========================================================================

so the pidgin variables of -gstreamer and -gtkspell will cause an error
when set for PKG_OPTIONS.pidgin since libpurple doesn't use them:

ERROR: This package has set PKG_FAIL_REASON:
ERROR: The following selected options are not supported: -gstreamer
-gtkspell.
