Attached is an example of failure to correctly include the eps into the pdf file. I've included the dvi file: u.dvi. And u.pdf was made using dvipdfm u. The shifts.eps file is the file that needs to be included into the pdf. I tested dvips -f u > u.ps and that works fine and of course, I can always use Preview to create a pdf file from ps.

As you found, dvipdfmx doesn't support the plotfile feature: ​http://project.ktug.or.kr/pipermail/dvipdfmx/2012-August/000318.html

Given that, there isn't anything we can do to help in MacPorts.
