change it out to flex duct, if you dont have it already.
go to home depot, look in the hvac dept, get a small 'sliding stack' vent, this is a rectangular box that has attatchments for flex ducts. it is used to go around very tight corners inside walls.
the idea is to make a 'u' with the flex ducts in your room, then put the stack box at the bottom of the 'u' , similar in concept to the drain pipes under your sink or toiet. the 'u' will act as a trap for the water, allowing you to drain it out periodically. you will have to modify the stack box with a hole/drain fitting, and of course tape up the seams to make it airtight....
alternately, and easier, you could raise the ambien temp around your room, to keep moisture from condensing inside the ducts
