I commented out the "NO_BUILD" thing, then added this:

pre-build:      
        @echo "building musixflx..."
        @echo "SHELL=/bin/sh" > ${WRKSRC}/Makefile
        @echo "all:" >> ${WRKSRC}/Makefile
        @echo " ${CC} -o musixflx systems/c-source/musixflx.c" >> \
		${WRKSRC}/Makefile

That seems to give a good build, but seems like a sloppy approach.

$ initex '&ec-plain' musixtex.ins
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1) (INITEX)
Sorry, I can't find the format `ec-plain.fmt'; will try `initex.fmt'.
I can't find the format file `initex.fmt'!
