GNU version of install is required: this is part of the fileutils/coreutils package: 
see http://www.gnu.org/software/fileutils/fileutils.html

coreutils is not installed on my computer.

The dependency "bin:install:coreutils" is finding /usr/bin/install which is not GNU install but BSD install.

The problem started in r46488 because before then, the dependency was "bin:ginstall:coreutils" and Mac OS X does not provide ginstall so the coreutils port definitely got installed.

I suggest changing the dependency to "port:coreutils" to make it clear we definitely want the port installed.

I seem to be 0/2 in the correct dependency department (See #18399).
Once again, my apologies.
The configure script finds /usr/bin/install but rejects it.

Fixed in r46511.

The build dependency bin:ginstall:coreutils is not needed. Just append --install /usr/bin/install to configure.args, and doxygen will use that.

A patch has been posted in ticket #20448 together with patches for unrelated build problems.
