I'm assuming one or both of the messages printed at configure time are relevant:

Or maybe not; I get those warnings on OS X 10.8 too, but the port builds for me.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I updated the port to version 0.99; did that help?

Since 0.99 it's now running into a different issue (for me at least): #38113
