The log shows you are using clang, not llvm-gcc-4.2. (The port deliberately disallows the use of llvm-gcc-4.2 and uses clang instead.)

You do not need to Cc yourself when you are the reporter.

For the sake of completeness and centralization, I want to link from here to this message. Also, installing grep 2.10 from MacPorts instead of the grep 2.5 that comes with Lion did solve part of the problem for me: it went from crashing at the start of the compilation to crashing at the linking phase.

With the "installing grep through macports" partial fix, it looks like this becomes a duplicate of ticket #31788.

The missing symbols are referenced from the decode.o and state.o libraries from libtheora, specifically in /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_www_firefox-x11/firefox-x11/work/mozilla-release/media/libtheora/lib/. When forcing the architecture to i386 only using port install firefox-x11 build_arch=i386, it looks like only state.o still fails with the same _oc_state_accel_init_x86 symbol missing as in universal and x86_64 modes.

I am now concentrating on the 32bit version; I would guess that the general principles are the same for the 64bit version, but there are fewer missing symbols in the 32bit version. I am not very comfortable with C programming, but I peeked around a bit and here's what I understand of this issue. At the start of the state.c file of libtheora, there are a bunch of includes based on architecture flags. The include for the x86 architecture redefines the function oc_state_accel_init_c to be oc_state_accel_init_x86, which is declared in the included file (x86int.h) but not defined.

Looking around, I did find a definition for oc_state_accel_init_x86 in the x86state.c file (same folder as x86int.h: mozilla-release/media/libtheora/lib/x86). However, as there are no .o files in that directory, my guess would be that the build script somehow forgot to compile them and include them in the linking phase. Modifying the build script to correctly include these files is beyond me, but simply commenting out the redefinition of oc_state_accel_init_c to oc_state_accel_init_x86 allowed me to finish the compilation. My guess is that my version of libtheora will be a bit slower, since it is using a C version instead of a hand-coded x86 assembly version of that initialization function, but I hope everything will nonetheless keep working.

So the problem seems to be with libtheora more than with firefox itself. As an aside, is there any reason for the firefox port to compile its own version of libtheora instead of relying on the existing libtheora port? (which compiles without any problem on my machine)
