> To clarify, You said before we use fetch in macports to get this source. So does that mean, as I asked, that the source fetched from macports is exactly the same as that from gnu? If so, then one can either use macports to fetch it or can download it without having to install macports, correct?

Also I think you are saying that you shouldn't do the "port install" which does install in /opt/local/bin, which of course would be true because there is no way to add the patch with the port install command. Wherever you install screen-4.2.1, whether in /opt/local/bin or in /usr/bin, you need to check whether another version of screen is there because Macports, if you previously installed screen by the port install command, has it in /opt/local/bin, and Mac OS has its version of screen in /usr/bin. If you are installing from screen anyway, you can change where it is installed if you want to do so.
