There was a REINPLACE_CMD to handle the tiffio error in the last  
version of the port; you can see the change here: http:// 
www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/graphics/gdal/Makefile.diff? 
r1=1.14&r2=1.15&f=h

Shouldn't be a problem, gdal does not depend on geos.

I came across the same errors.  "limits" is a c++ header that doesn't  
exist on stock FreeBSD 4.11 because the system compiler is gcc 2.95  
and the C++ library is old and crusty.  You can get a little further  
by adding USE_GCC=3.4+ to the port makefile, but then there are link  
problems further on.

You can see a test run I did with USE_GCC=3.4+ here: http:// 
people.freebsd.org/~lawrance/gdal-1.3.1.log

I haven't got time to work on fixing the port for 4.x at the moment,  
but I'll gladly accept help :-)  If you need gdal 1.3.1 it might be  
worth giving FreeBSD 6 a try.
