I patched the port file to contain the GIT version 15fa8de1ae3228413fde95e583008d9b9f19e7c7. This release built, but the error stays. In GNU Emacsen 26.x and 27.0.50 it can only be prevented by setting the environment variable LC_NUMERIC to "C".

It's time to update emacs-devel in any event...

If the only thing preventing updating emacs-devel https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/1948#issuecomment-394551583 is the inline patch for emacs-app-devel, than I think the best way to deal with it is guard that variant with an if subport eq emacs-app-devel and not default the inline variant.

I think this ticket can be closed now. I then was working on a bug in GNU Emacs and needed to access updated sources. MacPorts offered the ability to perform this very easily, without having to perform a handful of steps more or less manually/automatically.
I deleted the version from before the uogrades (macOS and fontconfig) and re-built and re-installed GNU Emacs 27.0.50. It shows the same failure.
