I don't even see a dependency for xercesc listed on their ​compiling for Mac wiki page. Can we alter the portfile so it does not even need it?

Configure will fail w/o xercesc: 

-- Xerces-C was not found.
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:614 (MESSAGE):

  XercesC not found.

You need to sudo port uninstall xercesc to get rid of the error message. freecad compiles cleanly against xercesc3.
