"-devel" does not have the same meaning in MacPorts as in other package management systems.
From what I can determine, elfutils is "a collection of libraries and utilities for working with ELF object files and DWARF debugging information." DWARF does seem to exist on OS X. The ELF file format is used on many operating systems, but not on OS X, which uses Mach-O instead. As such, I don't know whether elfutils is useful on OS X or whether it can even compile on OS X. But, if it can and it is, of course a Portfile would be welcome.
