Ugh. Panda needs to be removed from ports, I basically completely forgot about it. It probably never even worked correctly at all.

The GitHub repo says:

Panda is not maintained and developed anymore; please use zef instead.

I don't think we need to rush into providing zef. That should be done by the first one who's familiar / interested / ...

In 692e5c4297e786565c72f22672b4b44a255f97fc/macports-ports (master):

panda: delete port

The upstream development has been abandoned, calling zef a replacement.
It also no longer works with recent versions of rakudo.
