--->  Executing: /opt/local/bin/port install asymptote

To fix this I just

cd /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_graphics_asymptote/work/asymptote-1.85

edit the Makefile to include -DWORDS_LITTLE_ENDIAN in the DEFS section

make all

I then went back and re-ran the macports install process, and it worked.

I didn't have time to figure out why the configure script failed to set this variable

I believe #21475 is a duplicate of this. See comments there on what should fix it shortly (essentially I reported it upstream, where it was fixed).
