I am having the same issue, but i got it resolved by going into

/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_comms_minicom/work/minicom-2.1

and changing

line 65 in

src/window.c

from

static char *BC, *CR, *NL;

to

static char *CR, *NL;

and re-running

port install minicom

that worked like a charm

Have to add that this is not a MacPorts related issue, as it also present in upstream.

Also, i can not take credit for this fix, because i found it ​here
