You can easily correct this by creating a symlink:

ls -s /usr/local/lib/mulberry/Resources/ ~/.mulberry/

This is incorrect.  It should be:
ln -s /usr/local/lib/mulberry/Resources ~/.mulberry/

The problem was that extracting Mulberry.tgz produces a hidden .mulberry
directory in the current directory, which  should be in ~/  before
running  the binary. I extracted in a temporary location, failed to spot
this hidden  directory, and just moved the binary to ~/bin/. Removing
~/.mulberry and  re-extracting in my home directory fixed the problem.
BTW it actually  contains  plugin and icon directories as well as
resources.

Yes, but that only works for you. For people setting up servers for mulitple users, that's not a good solution.

When you launch mulberry for the first time, it will create the ~/.mulberry directory as well as the Plugins and Calendar and other subdirectories that are needed for *your* customized version of mulberry, but the Resources directory is *not* created. That's why you're missing the text.

In order to make a "generic" installer, the port has to place all those directories in a central location, but you must create a symling to Resources *or* just copy all the files to your own ~/.mulberry/Resources/ directory.

That's the *correct* way to do it.
